A Song (continued)
“Come over the hills, to you bunny”
(continued from previous page)and the stars were shining. The moon shone fair on her head of golden hair, and she vowed that she would be mine ever.
It is not for the parting of my sister Kate, It is not for the loss of my mother but it is all for the loss of my bunny blue Irish lass who is leaving old Ireland for ever:
Chorus:
Come of the hills to you bunny blue eyed lass Come over the hills to your lover.
Let you take the rose of love and I will make a vow that I will be your sweetheart for ever.
