Come over the hills my handsome Irish lad 
Come over the hills to your darling 
I choose the road love, but I'll make a vow 
That I'll be your true love forever 

Red is the rose by yonder garden grows 
And fair is the lily of the valley 
Clear is the water that flows from the Boyne 
But my love is fairer than any 

Down by Killarneys green woods we did stray 
The moon and the stars they were shining 
The moon shone it's rays on his locks of chocolate hair 
And he swore he'd be my love forever 

Red is the rose by yonder garden grows 
And fair is the lily of the valley 
Clear is the water that flows from the Boyne 
But my love is fairer than any 

It's not for the parting that my sister pains 
It's not for the grief of my mother 
It's all for the loss of my handsome Irish lad 
Now my heart is broken forever 

Red is the rose by yonder garden grows 
And fair is the lily of the valley 
Clear is the water that flows from the Boyne 
But my love is fairer than any
