Coal Black Rose

O, me Rosie, coal black rose
Don't ye hear the banjo
Ping-a-pong-a-pong?
On, me Rosie, Coal Black Rose!
2. O, me Rosie, coal black Rose,
Strung up like a banjo,
Allu taut an' long,
On, me Rosie, Coal Black Rose!
3. O, me Rosie, coal black Rose,
The yard is now a-movin',
Hauley-hauley ho!
On, me Rosie, Coal Black Rose!
4. The Mate be comes around, boys,
Dinging an'a dang.
Hauley-hauley ho!
On, me Rosie, Coal Black Rose!

5. Give her one more pull, boys,
Rock an' roll' er high.
Hauley-hauley ho!
On, me Rosie, Coal Black Rose!
