Coal Black Rose

Oh, me Rosie, coal black rose
Don't ye hear the banjo
Ping-a-pong-a-pong?
     On, me Rosie, Coal Black Rose!

Oh, me Rosie, coal blaek Rose,
Strung up like a banjo,
Allu taut an' long,
     On, me Rosie, Coal Black Rose!

Oh, me Rosie, coal black Rose,
The yard is now a-movin',
Hauley-hauley ho!
     On, me Rosie, Coal Black Rose!

The Mate be comes around, boys,
Dinging an'a dang.
Hauley-hauley ho!
     On, me Rosie, Coal Black Rose!

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