my love is like a red red rose
(Trad. Arr. S. Brett/M. Brennan) Celtic Songs

Oh my love is like a red red rose
That’s newly sprung in June
My love is like a melody
That’s sweetly played in tune

As fair thou art my bonnie lass
So deep in love am I
And I will love thee still my dear
Till all the seas gang dry

Till all the seas gang dry my dear
Till all the seas gang dry
And I will love thee still my dear
Till all the seas gang dry

Till all the seas gang dry my dear
And the rocks melt with the sun
And I will love thee still my dear
While the sands of time still run

And fare thee well my only love
And fare thee well awhile
And I will come again my love
Tho' it were ten thousand mile

Tho' it were ten thousand mile my love
Tho' it were ten thousand mile
And I will come again my love
Tho' it were ten thousand mile
