Rosie Reilly Lyrics by Daoirí Farrell

A Lifetime of Happiness

2019

[Verse 1]
I wish I was in my love's arms
I wish I was in my love's care
Two pied-ball horses in me pocket
Rolling 'round and 'round the fair
[Chorus]
Oh Rosie, Rosie Reilly
Oh Rosie Reilly, oh
I held Rosie in me arms
At the fair of Ballinasloe
[Verse 2]
Oh, Ballinasloe was green and open
In the morning coming down
And there sits Rosie, telling fortunes
Cross me palm with half-a-crown
[Chorus]
Oh Rosie, Rosie Reilly
Oh Rosie Reilly, oh
I held Rosie in me arms
At the fair of Ballinasloe
[Verse 3]
I didn't know she had a husband
A bigger man than me
I didn't know he had two brothers
Both as big and black as he
[Verse 4]
I saw my brother flinging bottles
I saw my father lying on the ground
And there was I, oh my head wide open
Rosie Reilly, where are ya now?
[Chorus]
Oh Rosie, Rosie Reilly
Oh Rosie Reilly, oh
I held Rosie in me arms
At the fair of Ballinasloe
[Outro]
I wish I was in my love's arms
I wish I was in my love's care
Two pied-ball horses in me pocket
Rolling 'round and 'round the fair
