    Ah she says dear man you are speaking wrong
    I can't grant your request
    I am waiting for my Willie dear, he's the young man I love best
    I'll meet him yet about sunset down by a rippling rill
    And we will walk and have a talk at the foot of Rooska Hill
    V
    Then pity me my dearest dear for I have a broken heart
    'Twill be my doom to face the tomb
    If from you I must part
    And though my bones be cold as stones forget I never will
    That maid so fair that left me there at the foot of Rooska Hill.
    Composed by Willie Moloney of Rooska over 30 years ago.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
