Oh how steet 'tis to roam by the sunny Shure stream And to hear the birds coo 'neath the morning sun beams Where the thrush and the robin their sweet notes entwine On the banks of the Suir that flows down by Mooncoin [Chorus] Flow on lovely river flow gently along By your waters so clear Sounds the Lark's merry song On your green banks I'll wander Where first I did join With you lovley Molly,the rose of Mooncoin She has sailed far away o're the dark rolling foam
Far away from the hills 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 here's to the Suir with it's valleys so fair As off times we wandered in the cool morning air Where the roses are blooming and lillies entwine On the banks of the Suir that flows down by Mooncoin [Chorus]
