Rose Of Ballymore Songtext / Lyric

The sky is raining cats and dogs

A crazy moon is out tonight

I kissed the hangman's daughter

So I had to run away and hide



I want you to see

My true misery



The wind is howling through the mist

I can not find my way tonight

I've done the judge's daughter

Now they say she's got to be my bride



I want you to be

The saviour of me






Hey Rose of Ballymore

Don't chase me from your door

Hey Rose hear my plea

And shelter me

Hey Rose of Ballymore

I'm standing at your door

Hey Rose hear my plea

And mercy me, mercy me



The hounddogs keep a-howling

Thousand demons are so close behind

I kissed the bishop's daughter

Well, I simply must have lost my mind



I want you to see

My true misery



No mercy!
