Transcription

Blooming Mountain Rose

PRICE ONE PENNY.

TUNE-Original.

The moon is bright-her beauty cheers
The earth, the sky, the sea, lassie,
And fair as her young light appears,
Still fair art thou to me, bonnie lassie, O.

CHORUS.

Thou art kind as the summer wind,   
From every breath that blows,
And wafts the breeze from the bells of the heath,
My blooming mountain rose.
My blooming mountain rose,
My blooming mountain rose,
And wafts the breeze from the bells of the heath,
My blooming mountain rose.

The moon is bright, one more may dart,
Still joy shall be with thee, bonnie lassie, O;
The peace and joy that cheer my heart
Are centred all in thee, bonnie lassie, O.

Thou art kind, &c.

Should clouds steal o'er thee for a while,
Hope's star will joy with thee, lassie,
And as the flower resumes its smile,
More bright will be thy bloom, bonnie lassie, O.

Thou art kind, &c.
