How pleasant to roam by the sunny Suir stream,
To hear the dove singing in the morning's 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,
Your water so clear sings the lark's merry song,
On the green banks I wander where first I did join,
With you, lovely Maggie, the rose of Mooncoin.
Oh, Maggie, my darling, it breaks my fond heart,
To know that we two forever must part;
I'll think of you, Maggie, while sun and moon shines,
On the banks of the Suir that flows down by Mooncoin.
Flow on, lovely river, flow gently along,
Your water, so clear, sings the lark's merry song,
On the green banks I wander where first I did join,
With you, lovely Maggie, the rose of Mooncoin.
She has sailed far away o'er the dark rolling foam,
Far away from the hills of her dear Irish home,
Where the fisherman floats with his small boat and line,
By the banks of the Suir that flows down by Mooncoin.
Flow on, lovely river, flow gently along,
Your water, so clear, sings the lark's merry song,
On the green banks I wander where first I did join,
With you, lovely Maggie, the rose of Mooncoin.
