Roisin Dubh (Black Rose) : A Rock Legend
(Lynott)

                    Tell me the legends of long ago
                    When the kings and queens would dance in the realm of the Black Rose
                    Play me the melodies I want to know
                    So I can teach my children, oh

                    Pray tell me the story of young Cu Chulainn
                    How his eyes were dark his expression sullen
                    And how he'd fight and always won
                    And how they cried when he was fallen

                    Oh tell me the story of the Queen of this land
                    And how her sons died at her own hand
                    And how fools obey commands
                    Oh tell me the legends of long ago

                    Where the mountains of Mourne come down to the sea
                    Will she no come back to me
                    Will she no come back to me

                    Oh Shenandoah I hear you calling
                    Far away you rolling river
                    Roll down the mountain side
                    On down on down go lassie go

                    Oh Tell me the legends of long ago
                    When the kings and queens would dance in the realms of the
                    Black Rose
                    Play me the melodies so I might know
                    So I can tell my children, oh

                    My Roisin Dubh is my one and only true love
                    It was a joy that Joyce brought to me
                    While William Butler waits
                    And Oscar, he's going Wilde

                    Ah sure, Brendan where have you Behan?
                    Looking for a girl with green eyes
                    My dark Rosaleen is my only colleen
                    That Georgie knows Best

                    But Van is the man
                    Starvation once again
                    Drinking whiskey in the jar-o
                    Synge's Playboy of the Western World

                    As Shaw, Sean I was born and reared there
                    Where the Mountains of Mourne come down to the sea
                    Is such a long, long way from Tipperary
