Wild Irish Rose

In a field by a river
My lover and I did lie
And on my naked shoulder
She's 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 servant of the street
From bed to bed I've traveled
To taste a love as sweet
Well the heart it knows no reasons
And reason never knows...
As I lie with them, I'm thinkin' of
A wild Irish rose

Well I saw the city of angels

It brought a devil out of me
In Hell's Hotel on Sunset
Showed a whore no mercy
As the orange sky was screamin'

From the roof I let her go
These are the dizzy heights that brought me
My wild irish rose

Well red is the rose
That she laid on my grave
A life is what she wanted
And a life I surely gave
Like a hundred men before me
They lay lyin' here in rows
Young men, bloody
As a wild irish rose
