Текст песни I wish my love was a red rose - Meav

I wish my love was a red, red rose
Growing in yon garden fair.
And I to be the gardener,
Of her I would take care.
There@s not a month throughout the year,
But my love I@d renew .
I@d garnish her with flowers fine,
Sweet William, Thyme and Rue
I wish I was a butterfly,
I@d light on my love@s breast .
And if I was a blue cuckoo,
I@d sing my love to rest.
And if I was a nightingale,
I@d sing to daylight clear.
I@d sit and sing with you my Mollie,
For once I loved you dear.
I wish I was in Dublin town,
And sitted on the grass.
In my right hand a jug of punch,
And on my knee a lass.
I@d call for liquor freely,
And I@d pay before I@d go.
And I@d roll my money in my arms,
Let the wind blow high or low .
