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
