Boston Rose - The Wolfe Tones

Now the autumm 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

There’s a girl in Massachusetts south of Boston town she said

And her lovely face is with me all the day

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

Well I took her heart and she stole mine away

(Chorus)

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 thats the way life goes

Theres a song we sang all summer in the bars in Dublin town

I can here it on the factory radio

And the feeling I remember when I here that simple tune

Make me wonder if it really happened so For we laughed and loved together 'till the summer days were gone

And she had to fly across the ocean wide

(Repeat Chorus)

And some nights when im drinking and my friends have gathered 'round

And just for fun someone calls out your name

Well I smile there with the rest of them but I can’t here a sound

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

And nights when im alone my love you come into my mind

And visions flash across the Emerald Isle

Well I watch the moon there up above I’ll leave this earth behind

And I’ll call to you as I go sailing by

(Repeat Chorus)
