'The Rose of Mooncoin' (Watt Murphy) Performed by Johnny McEvoy, a great friend of our page. Stair na hÉireann/History of Ireland How pleasant to roam by the sunny blue stream, To hear the dove's coo 'neath 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. By your waters so clear sings the lark's merry song. On your green banks I'll wander where first I did join With you,
