    “In Bóthap Róe there dwells a lass,”

    Share Share Post
    By the Shades of Bóthar Róe.
    I
    In Bóthar Róe there dwells a lass,
    That has enchanted me,
    Her beauty is far greater
    Than the rose of sweet Ardee.
    II
    She is fairer than fair Ellen,
    She is glorious and she is fine,
    She is the charming girl of my sad woe,
    And I wish that she were mine.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
