The Curragh of Kildare Lyrics

Ah the winter it is past and the summer's come at last
And the birds they are singing in the trees
Their little hearts are glad, ah but mine is very sad
Since my true love is far away from me
And it's straight I will repair
To the Curragh of Kildare
For it's there I'll find tidings of my dear

The rose upon the briar and the waters running deep
Bring joy to the linnet and the bee
Their little hearts are blest, ah but mine can know no rest
Since my true love is far away from me
For those who are in love and cannot be denied
I pity the pains that you do endure
For experience lets me know that your hearts are full of woe
A woe that no mortal can cure

A livery I'll wear, ah and I'll tie back my hair
And in velvet so green I will appear
And it's straight I will repair to the Curragh of Kildare
For it's there I'll find tidings of my dear
