Rose in the Heather - Fiddler's Green

I drove my boat on the river, my friend

I saw people, the farmers, their land

I met a girl and she passed me her hand

It seemed there’d never be an end

I came along with the people i found

I stayed around till i did hear a sound

I met a girl and i kissed her, my friend

It seemed there’d never be an end

A rose in the heather, a rose in my hand, a broken one this old land

A rose in the heather, a rose in the sand, a broken one in the end

I drove my boat, never thought that i would

I saw the crowds walk as fast as they could

I met a girl and i kissed her again

It seemed there’d never be an end

And you had to please no one but me

But now in the end, it seems like i’m losing a friend

A rose in the heather, a rose in my hand, a broken one this old land

A rose in the heather, a rose in my hand

A rose in the heather, a broken land

She faded away with the boy that she met

He plucked her heart and she pricked me instead

I met a girl and i loved her, my friend

It seemed there’d never be an end

A rose in the heather, a rose in my hand, a broken one this old land

A rose in the heather, a rose in the sand, a broken one in the end

And You had to please no one but me

But now in the end it seems i’m loosing a friend

A rose in the heather, a rose in my hand, a broken one this old land

A rose in the heather, a rose in my hand, a broken one in the end
