Can anybody tell me where the Blarney Roses grow?
It may be down in Limerick town or over in Mayo
It’s somewhere in the Em’rald Isle, but this I want to know
Can anybody tell me where the Blarney Roses grow?

Her cheeks were like the roses, her hair a raven hue
Before that she was done with me, she had me raving too
She left me sorely stranded, not a coin she left, you know
And she told me she belonged to where the Blarney Roses grow

They’ve roses in Killarney, and the same in County Clare
But ‘pon my word those roses, boys, I can’t see anywhere
She blarney’d me and, by the powers, she left me broke, ho, ho!
Did this damsel that belonged to where the Blarney Roses grow

Acushla gra-machree, me boys, she murmured soft, did she
“If you belong to Ireland, it’s yourself belongs to me.”
Her Donegal come-all-ye brogue, it captured me, you know
Bad scram to her and that same place, where the Blarney Roses grow
