  1. A Song - The Rose of Ardee

    Share Share Post
    "Once to this country a stranger I came,
    I placed my attention on a maid that was young,
    She was neat, tall and slender in every degree.
    She was the flower of this country and the rose of Ardee
    Till a young weaver came her way to see, and stole the heart of my own darling.
    The rose of Ardee
    When I get my week's wages to the ale house I'll go,
    It's there I sit drinking with my heart full of woe.
    It's there I sit drinking expecting to see
    One sight of my own darling, the rose of Ardee.
