Red Red Rose
traditional
by Emmylou Harris


Oh, my love is like a red, red rose
That's newly sprung in June:
Oh, my love's like the melody
That's sweetly played in tune.

As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in love am I;
And I will love thee still, my dear,
Till all the seas gang dry.

Till all the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt with the sun;
And I will love thee still, my dear,
While the sands of life shall run.

And fare thee well, my only love,
Oh, fare thee well a while,
And I will come again, my love,
Though 'twere ten thousand mile.
