Lyrics
Wild Irish Rose
I was a soldier
but that was long ago
I was young and brave
but everything changed that day
wild irish rose
wild irish rose
wild irish rose
wild irish rose
there?s some things
you ain?t supposed to see
now I?m old and gray
and it?s still killing me
wild irish rose
wild irish rose
wild irish rose
wild irish rose
now the summer sun has set
and winter?s comimg on
and when the spring gets here
maybe I?ll be gone
It?s the same story
you know it well
just the faces change
can?t you tell
wild irish rose
wild irish rose
wild irish rose
wild irish rose
