Boston Rose - Wolfe Tones video free download

Wolfe Tones singing Boston Rose. 1989.

Tralee Kerry. Written by Liam Reilly.

Now the autumn leaves are falling and the tourists have all gone

and the children they have all gone back to school

and my life is as it was before, I work eight hours a day

but the company's still making all the rules

But there's a girl in Massachusettes, south of Boston town she said

and her lovely face is with me all the day

sure I met her down in old Tralee, golden hair upon her head

and I took her heart and she stole mine away

Goodbye my Boston beauty farewell my Boston Rose

I'll wait for you, I'll think of you, no threat to you I'll pose

goodbye my Boston Beauty, farewell my Boston Rose

I wish that you were here but I know, that's the way life goes

There's a song we sang all summer of the bars in Dublin town

I can hear it on the fac'try radio

and the feelings I remember, when I hear that simple tune

make me wonder if it really happens so

for we laughed and loved together 'till the summer days were gone

and she had to fly across the ocean wide

so goodbye my Boston beauty until we meet again

And I'll keep the fire burning deep inside

Goodbye my Boston beauty farewell my Boston Rose

I'll wait for you, I'll think of you, no threat to you I'll pose

goodbye my Boston Beauty, farewell my Boston Rose

I wish that you were here but I know, that's the way life goes

and some nights when I'm drinkin' and my friends have gathered 'round

well just for fun someone brings out your name

well I smile there with the rest of them but I can't hear a sound

I love you but to them it's all the same

and nights when I'm alone my love you come into my mind

and visions flash upon that in-ward eye

well I'll watch the moon there up above And I'll leave this earth behind

and I'll call to you as I go sailing by

Goodbye my Boston beauty farewell my Boston Rose

I'll wait for you, I'll think of you, no threat to you I'll pose

goodbye my Boston Beauty, farewell my Boston Rose

I wish that you were here but I know, that's the way life goes

I wish that you were here so farwell

my Boston Rose.
