The Rose of Tralee with Lyrics - The Cornell University Glee Club with Michael Daly - tenor

http://www.MusicIrish.net - The Rose of Tralee with Lyrics -

The pale moon was rising above the green mountains,
The sun was declining beneath the blue sea;
As I strayed with my love to the pure crystal fountain,
The stands near the beautiful Vale of Tralee,
She was lovely and fair as the rose of the summer,
Yet 'twas not her beauty alone that won me;
Oh no, 'twas the truth in her eyes ever dawning,
that made me love Mary, the Rose of Tralee.

The cool shades of evening their mantle were spreading,
And Mary all smiling was listening to me;
The moon through the valley her pale rays was shedding,
When I won the heart of the Rose of Tralee.
Though lovely and fair as the Rose of the summer,
Yet 'twas not her beauty alone that won me;
Oh no, 'twas the truth in her eyes ever dawning,
that made me love Mary, the Rose of Tralee.
