    "In a field by a river
    my love and I did lie
    And on my naked shoulder
    she too proud to cry
    She said that I must leave her
    an icy tear she froze
    How could I melt the heart
    Of a Wild Irish Rose

    Well a gypsy she has made of me
    A servent of the street
    And back to bed I've travelled
    To taste a love as sweet
    Well the heart it knows no reasons
    And reason never knows
    As I lie with them I'm thinking
    Of a Wild Irish Rose

    Well I saw the city of angels
    It brought a devil out in me
    And Hell's hotel on Sunset
    Showed a whore no mercy
    As the orange sky was screaming
    From the roof I let her go
    These are the dizzying heights that brought me
    My Wild Irish Rose

    Now red is the rose
    That she layed on my grave
    A life is what she wanted
    And a life I surely gave
    Like a hundred men before me
    They lay lying here in rows
    Young men, bloody
    As a Wild Irish Rose."


    Listen to this honestly it's worth a listen
