Oh, how sweet 'tis to roam by the sunny
Suir stream
And hear the doves coo 'neath the morning
sunbeam
Where the thrush and the robin their sweet
notes entwine
On the banks of the Suir that flows down by
Mooncoin.
Flow on lovely river, flow gently along
By your waters so sweet sounds the lark's
merry song
By your green banks I 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 now forever must part
But I'll think of you Molly, when sun and
moon shine
On the banks of the Suir that flows down by
Mooncoin.
Flow on lovely river, flow gently along
By your waters so sweet sounds the lark's
merry song
By your green banks I wander where first I
did join
With you lovely Molly, the rose of
Mooncoin.
With you lovely Molly, the rose of
Mooncoin...
