[D]Oh, the lambs were playing in the field
And the [A]tulips were in flower
[D]When I left the home [G]I love so well
I can never forget the [D]hour
Be[A]fore me were [D]Atlantic’s waves
To a home in Tennes[A]see
Sure I left behind me the [G]girl I loved
The rose of Castel[D]rea
CHORUS
[D]She may not have been a beauty queen
She might never be a [A]rose
But to me she is [G]the fairest flower
That [D]in the garden grows
[A]Although I’m in A[D]mericay
Across the Atlantic [A]Sea
Sure I always love my [G]Roscommon girl
She’s the rose of Castel[D]rea
[D]It’s many the night that I lie in bed
Me thoughts upon thee [A]go
To the lovely days when I [G]walk me love
On the [D]road out by Knockroe
Her [A]smiling face, her [D]shining hair
Was a joy for all to [A]see
’twas a cruel day I [G]went away
From [A]you and Castel[D]rea
Chorus
[D]I opened up the Roscommon Herald
I just received to[A]day
For to read about [G]my native town
And my [D]friends so far away
But [A]the tears began to [D]blind me
As I glanced across page [A]three
Had a photo of her [G]wedding day
Was the [A]rose of Castle[D]rea
Chorus
Change key here if you want.
[B]Fare[E]well to you, [A]Roscommon
From [E]Cloonad to the Shannon [B]shore
Farewell to Boyle and [A]Frenchpark
I’ll [E]never see you no more
For the [B]cotton’s field near [E]Memphis
Must remain home to [B]me
Sure I’ll [E]always love my Ros[A]common girl
She’s the [E]rose of Castelrea
Chorus
And the [A]tulips were in flower
[D]When I left the home [G]I love so well
I can never forget the [D]hour
Be[A]fore me were [D]Atlantic’s waves
To a home in Tennes[A]see
Sure I left behind me the [G]girl I loved
