- Lyrics:
Oh how sweet tis to roam by the Suirs lovely stream
and to hear the birds coo neath the morning sunbeams
where the thrush and the robin their sweet notes enjoin
On the banks of the Suir that flows down by Mooncoin
CHORUS
Flow on lovely river, flow gently along
by your waters so sweet sounds the larks merry song
on your green banks Ill wander where first I did join
with you lovely Molly, the Rose of Mooncoin
Oh Molly dear Molly it breaks my fond heart
to know that we two forever must part
Ill think of you Molly while sun and moon shine
on the banks of the Suir that flows down by Mooncoin CHORUS
she has sailed far away ore the dark rolling foam
far away from the banks of her dear Irish home
where the fisherman sports with his small boat and line
on the banks of the Suir that flows down by Mooncoin CHORUS
then heres to the Suir with its valleys so fair
as oft times we wandered in the cool morning air
where the roses are blooming and the lillies entwine
on the banks of the Suir that flows down by Mooncoin CHORUS
Lovely Song. My sister in law sings this song beautifully.
Lovely rendition by Bridie of one of my favourite songs. Super song - super voice.
Terry.
Is'nt it very easy to be proud of old Ireland when you hear this lovely Irish song.
Oh the memories here! 🤗👏👏👏👏👏
I was introduced to Bridie in the late 1950s on Radio Luxembourg. Radio Eireann played her intermittently in the 60s and 70s before Conor Cruise thought it was not the time of music we should hear any more. Has anything changed?
Thanks to Donncaha we can listen to Bridie on a Saturday night.
love the irish songs you can just see the country side
why is it called mooncoin? that means nothing. in irish , it is mowen quinn which means quinn's turfland. at least that has a meaning. someone should open up a pub in the town and call it JOAN QUINN FROM MOWEN QUINN. that would soon teach us how to speak irish again. or finn mc keown from mowen quinn.
