The Briar and the Rose Lyrics by Fay Hield

Old Adam

2016

I fell asleep down by a stream
And there I had the strangest dream
And down by Brennan's Glenn there grows
A briar and a rose
There's a tree in the forest I don't know where
I built a nest out of your hair
And climbing up high into the air
A briar and a rose
I don't know how long it has been
Since I was born in Brennan's Glenn
But near the end of spring there grows
A briar and a rose
Picked the rose one early morn
I pricked my finger on a thorn
It had grown so high it's winding wove
The briar around the rose
I tried to tear them both apart
I felt a bullet in my heart
And all dressed up in springs and clothes
The briar and the rose
And when I'm buried in my grave
Tell me so I will know
Your tears will fall to make love grow
The briar and the rose
And when I'm buried in my grave
Tell me so I will know
Your tears will fall to make love grow
The briar and the rose
