The Briar and the Rose

I fell asleep down by the stream
And there I had the strangest dream
And down by Brennan's Glenn there grows
A briar and a rose


There's a tree in the forest
But I don't know where
I built a nest out of your hair
And climbing up into the air
A briar and a rose


I don't know how long it has been
But I was born in Brennan's Glenn
And near the end of spring there grows
A briar and a rose
Picked the rose one early morn
I pricked my finger on a thorn
It had grown so high
It's winding wove the briar around the rose


I tried to tear them both apart
I felt a bullet in my heart
And all dressed up in springs and clothes
The briar and the rose


And when I'm buried in my grave
Tell me so I will know
Your tears will fall
To make love grow
The briar and the rose
