I. Oh darling mother would you guide my hand
My love she's in america with a terry band
Her dark-flowing hair runs all down her breast
Soft as the night that she went and left
Now sandy was the river that she walked
It was out the door and it was off the dock
With thunder ahead and the steamboat's dreams
Of lily-white smoke and fine rafting things
Refrain:
Bring me a rose, St. Therese St. Therese
Would you bring me a rose, St. Therese
All the little flowers they are covered and blessed
Bring me a rose St. Therese
II. She boarded that ship and she sent it well
Fast and lonesome as a kind farewell
I asked her grace for twelve little towns
With a market in all and open fields around
She took the east and she took the west
Elizabeth's the girl that I love the best
My house was robbed when I shut the door
And boarded it up with a rusted oar
III. I saw her at the market just yesterday
Said hello and she looked the other way
She wore a coat of black and two old shoes
And my eyes were light with the devil's dues
I gave her a whistle and three hundred cries
And there I found a rose as white as lye
You can wash with water every day
The dirt will stain your hide in the same old way
IV. Two little devils danced on a barrel of lime
You know they're devils mama but you took a bad time
It was a slipped up jig with iron feet
That fled like a coward when lovers meet
But there in the garden I can see you fine
Hand full of roses smell better than wine
To scatter your flowers for the one you love
Tender as the lightning in the sky above

Still listening to you guys in 2024! I hope you’re doing so well and your lives are incredible! Your album has inspired me so much and taken me through so many hard times (along with Our Lord and Lady ofc). St Terese was the inspiration for naming our sweet little daughter Teresa ❤️🙏 praying for you!

What's the story behind the lyrics?

[@samfitzpatrick310]

Need to hear vocals better. .hard to get the lyrics. Loving this otherwise. ❤️

[@Pritchie45]

Is a terry (Teresa) band referring to nuns?

I really like your music, but the bodhrán is wasted! The toe tapping is louder than its beat.
