[ti:The Rose Of Tralee] [ar:Various Artists] [al:Pure Irish Tenors] [offset:0] [00:02.94]The Rose Of Tralee - Jim McCann [00:10.31]The pale moon was rising above the green mountains, [00:19.44]The sun was declining beneath the blue sea; [00:27.31]When I strayed with my love to the pure crystal fountain, [00:34.31] [00:34.94]That stands in the beautiful Vale of Tralee. [00:42.75] [00:43.25]She was lovely and fair as the rose of the summer, [00:50.99]Yet 'twas not her beauty alone that won me; [00:58.44]Oh no, 'twas the truth in her eyes ever dawning, [01:06.12] [01:07.18]That made me love Mary, the Rose of Tralee. [01:16.38] [01:23.69]The cool shades of evening their mantle were spreading, [01:31.38] [01:33.72]And Mary all smiling was listening to me; [01:38.84] [01:39.72]The moon through the valley her pale rays was shedding, [01:46.72] [01:47.85]When I won the heart of the Rose of Tralee. [01:55.22]Though lovely and fair as the Rose of the summer, [02:02.28] [02:03.85]Yet 'twas not her beauty alone that won me; [02:09.91] [02:11.35]Oh no, 'twas the truth in her eyes ever dawning, [02:18.91] [02:19.41]That made me love Mary, the Rose of Tralee.
