Can anybody tell me where the Blarney Roses grow?
Some say down in Limerick Town and more say in Mayo;
Somewhere in the Em'rald Isle of this I want to know,
Can anybody tell me where the Blarney Roses grow?
'Twas over in old Ireland near the town of Cushendall,
One morn I met a damsel there, the fairest of them all;
'Twas with my young affections, and my money she did go,
She told me she belonged to where the Blarney Roses grow.
Her cheeks were like the roses, her hair a raven hue,
Before that she was done with me, she had me raving, too;
She left me sorely stranded, not a coin she left, you know,
And she told me she belonged to where the Blarney Roses grow.
Can anybody tell me where the Blarney Roses grow?
Some say down in Limerick Town and more say in Mayo;
Somewhere in the Em'rald Isle of this I want to know,
Can anybody tell me where the Blarney Roses grow?
They've Roses in Killarney and the same in County Clare,
But 'pon my word those roses, boys, I can't see anywhere;
She blarney'd me and, by the powers, she left me broke, ho ho,
Did this damsel that belonged to where the Blarney Roses grow.
Can anybody tell me where the Blarney Roses grow?
Some say down in Limerick Town and more say in Mayo;
Somewhere in the Em'rald Isle of this I want to know,
Can anybody tell me where the Blarney Roses grow?
Acushla gra-machree, me boys, she murmured soft did she,
If you belong to Ireland then yourself belongs to me;
Her Donegal come-all-ye brogue, it captured me, you know,
Bad scram to her and that same place where the Blarney Roses grow.
Can anybody tell me where the Blarney Roses grow?
Some say down in Limerick Town and more say in Mayo;
Somewhere in the Em'rald Isle of this I want to know,
Can anybody tell me where the Blarney Roses grow?
