This thread reminds me of an old Irish tune.... quote:
THE BANKS OF RED ROSES Oh, when I was a young girl, I heard my mother say That I was a foolish lass and easily led astray And before that I would work, I’d soon as sport and play With my Johnny on the banks of red roses On the banks of red roses, my love and I sat down And he took out a fiddle for to play his love a tune In the middle of the tune, she sighed and she said "Johnny, oh my Johnny, never leave me" So he took her to his lodge and he treated her to tea Saying "Drink my dearest Mary and come along with me" Saying "Drink my dearest Mary and come along with me To the lovely sweet banks of red roses" Then they walked and they talked 'till they came unto a cave Where Johnny all the day had been digging up a grave Where Johnny all the day had been digging up a grave For to leave his Mary low among the roses Then he pulled out his pen knife, it was both long and sharp And he plunged it right into his own dear Mary's heart Yes, he plunged it right into his own dear Mary's heart And he left her lying low among the roses Yes, it is possible to disappear forever........
