| The Briar and the Rose |
| I fell asleep down by a stream and there I had the srtangest dream and down by Brennan's Glenn there grows a briar and a rose There's a tree in the forest and i don't know where I built a nest out of your hair and climbing up into the air a briar and a rose Well i don't know how long it's been but i was born in Brennan's Glenn and near the end of spring there grows a briar and a rose I picked a rose one early morn I pricked my finger on a thorn they'd grown so close their winding wove the briar and the rose I tried to tear them both apart I felt a bullet in my heart and all dressed up in springs new clothes the briar and the rose And when i'm buried and in my grave tell me then so i will know your tears may fall to make love grow the briar and the rose |
