Eed as red can be
Fairer than the others
But not so fair as she
Flags of every colour
Men have died for those
Blood as red as flowers
As red as any rose
So softly fills my room
With her haunting sweet perfume
Here then gone forever
My bonnie Belfast rose
Tell me all your stories
Days of long ago
Beauties rare and splendid
But not my Belfast rose
So softly fills my room
With her haunting sweet perfume
Here then gone forever
My bonnie Belfast rose
Farewell my restless visions
Gone like glad old clothes
Some you keep forever
But not my Belfast rose.
The last red rose of summer Eed as red can be Fairer than the others But not so fair as she Flags of every colour Men have died for those Blood as red as flowers As red as any rose So softly fills my room With her haunting sweet perfume Here then gone forever My bonnie Belfast rose Tell me all your stories Days of long ago Beauties rare and splendid But not my Belfast rose So softly fills my room With her haunting sweet perfume Here then gone forever My bonnie Belfast rose Farewell my restless visions Gone like glad old clothes Some you keep forever But not my Belfast rose.
