[00:01.80]Meav--I wish my love was a red rose
[00:11.18]
[00:18.36]
[00:24.24]I wish my love was a red, red rose
[00:29.57]growing in yon garden fair.
[00:34.86]And I to be the gardener,
[00:39.65]of her I would take care.
[00:44.99]There@s not a month throughout the year,
[00:50.53]but my love I@d renew .
[00:56.11]I@d garnish her with flowers fine,
[01:01.32]sweet William, Thyme and Rue
[01:07.97]
[01:13.71]I wish I was a butterfly,
[01:18.99]I@d light on my love@s breast .
[01:23.61]And if I was a blue cuckoo,
[01:28.40]I@d sing my love to rest.
[01:34.27]And if I was a nightingale,
[01:39.20]I@d sing to daylight clear.
[01:45.28]I@d sit and sing with you my Mollie,
[01:50.12]for once I loved you dear.
[01:57.03]
[02:39.37]I wish I was in Dublin town,
[02:44.35]and sitted on the grass.
[02:49.19]In my right hand a jug of punch,
[02:53.83]and on my knee a lass.
[02:58.73]I@d call for liquor freely,
[03:03.39]and I@d pay before I@d go.
[03:09.87]And I@d roll my money in my arms,
[03:15.28]let the wind blow high or low .
