Krunchie Killeen - My Dark Rosaleen Lyrics

O my dark Rosaleen
Do not sigh, do not weep
The priests are on the ocean green
They march along the deep
There's wine from the royal Pope
Upon the ocean green
And Spanish ale shall give you hope
My Dark Rosaleen
My Dark Rosaleen
My own Rosaleen
Shall glad your heart, shall give you hope
Shall give you health, and help, and hope
My Dark Rosaleen
Over hills, and thro' dales
Have I roamed for your sake
All yesterday I sail'd with sails
On river and on lake
The Erne, at its highest flood
I dash'd across unseen
For there was lightning in my blood
My Dark Rosaleen
My Dark Rosaleen
My own Rosaleen
O, there was lightning in my blood
Red lightning lighten'd thro' my blood
My Dark Rosaleen
O, the Erne shall run red
With redundance of blood
The earth shall rock beneath our tread
And flames wrap hill and wood
And gun-peal and slogan-cry
Wake many a glen serene
Ere you shall fade, ere you shall die
My Dark Rosaleen
My Dark Rosaleen
My own Rosaleen
The Judgement Hour must first be nigh
Ere you can fade, ere you can die
My Dark Rosaleen
