1
I fell asleep down by a stream
2
and there I had the srtangest dream
3
and down by Brennan's Glenn there grows
4
a briar and a rose
5
There's a tree in the forest and i don't know where
6
I built a nest out of your hair
7
and climbing up into the air
8
a briar and a rose
9
Well i don't know how long it's been
10
but i was born in Brennan's Glenn
11
and near the end of spring there grows
12
a briar and a rose
13
I picked a rose one early morn
14
I pricked my finger on a thorn
15
they'd grown so close their winding wove
16
the briar and the rose
17
I tried to tear them both apart
18
I felt a bullet in my heart
19
and all dressed up in springs new clothes
20
the briar and the rose
21
And when i'm buried and in my grave
22
tell me then so i will know
23
your tears may fall to make love grow
24
the briar and the rose
