Lovely Mary was the Rose of Tralee - she was beautiful and caught the attention of a young man who admired her greatly. Unfortunately death took it's toll on the relationship.
The Rose Of Tralee
C F C
The pale moon was rising above the green mountain,
D7 G7
The sun was declining beneath the blue sea;
C F C
When I strayed with my love to the pure crystal fountain,
F C G C
That stands in the beautiful Vale of Tralee.
Am E
She was lovely and fair as the rose of the summer,
Am G7
Yet 'twas not her beauty alone that won me;
C F C
Oh no, 'twas the truth in her eyes ever dawning,
F C G C
That made me love Mary, the Rose of Tralee.
C F C
The cool shades of evening their mantle were spreading
D7 G7
And Mary all smiling sat listening to me;
C F C
The moon through the valley her pale rays were shining
F C G C
When I won the heart of the Rose of Tralee.
Am E
She was lovely and fair as the rose of the summer,
Am G7
Yet 'twas not her beauty alone that won me;
C F C
Oh no, 'twas the truth in her eyes ever dawning,
F C G C
That made me love Mary, the Rose of Tralee.
C F C
On the far fields of India, mid war's bloody thunder,
D7 G7
Her voice was a solace and comfort to me,
C F C
But the cold hand of death has now torn us asunder
F C G C
I'm lonely tonight for my Rose of Tralee.
Am E
She was lovely and fair as the rose of the summer,
Am G7
Yet 'twas not her beauty alone that won me;
C F C
Oh no, 'twas the truth in her eyes ever dawning,
F C G C
That made me love Mary, the Rose of Tralee.
