Ringsend Rose song lyrics and guitar chords

Written by  Pete St. John. The Sheet music in the key of D is included. Here's another classic from Pete. This song was recorded by Brendan Grace and Patsy Watchorn with The Dublin City Ramblers and later with The Dubliners. It was also recorded by Tara Folk, The Emigrants and by North Sea Gas. Ringsend is a working class area about a mile from the city centre with Irishtown beside it. The list of songs that Pete St. John has written is endless.

In[D] Irishtown there live's a[G] girl
Fairer[D] than the flower I'm[A] wearing
Rose[D] Donohue all fresh and[G] new
And I[D] love her[A7] past all[D] caring
[Chorus]
And there she goes my Ringsend Rose
In God's garden there's none rarer
And there she goes My Ringsend Rose
Dublin Town has seen none Fairer
 
Sweet seventeen my seamstrees queen
She's no bigger than a thimble
Soft satin skin streets out look's grin
Sure she makes the world look simple
 
Three yards of lace to walk with grace
And a golden ring she's asking
They say man's slow ah but still I know
That our love is everlasting
