The Rose of Ballinderry
Written by Willie (Whistler) Foley at Foleys Forge June 1941 in Carrick on Suir
[Verse 1]
G C Now you may turn pale at the sights of Ballynale D G You may see the mansions in Mooncoin G C I know you’d get a shock if you stood in Ballyknock D G And see the lights of Ballydine
[Chorus]
G C She’s the Rose of Ballinderry D G She’s the fairest of them all G C And my heart will not be merry D G Til I wed my Ballinderry Rose
[Verse 2]
G C Now once I cut a dash with a blonde up in Kilcash D G Once I wed the pride of Killenaule G C Once I spent an hour with a lassie from Glenbower D G But I know the fairest of them all
[Chorus]
G C She’s the Rose of Ballinderry D G She’s the fairest of them all G C And my heart will not be merry D G Til I wed my Ballinderry Rose
[Verse 3]
G C Now there was blue eyed Nell, from the sweetshop in Clonmel D G There was lovely Lillie from Tramore G C I used to have her snap when she'd sit upon my lap D G But she won’t sit there anymore
[Chorus]
G C She’s the Rose of Ballinderry D G She’s the fairest of them all G C And my heart will not be merry D G Til I wed my Ballinderry Rose
[Verse 4]
G C Once I loved a queen from the village of Faugheen D G Once I loved a lassie from Clonea G C But know I know my mind; I’ll leave them all behind D G I’ll be off to the chapel any day
[Chorus]
G C She’s the Rose of Ballinderry D G She’s the fairest of them all G C And my heart will not be merry D G Til I wed my Ballinderry Rose
[Chorus]
G C She’s the Rose of Ballinderry D G She’s the fairest of them all G C And my heart will not be merry D G Til I wed my Ballinderry Rose
