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
And I don't know where
I built a nest out of your hair
And climbing up into the air
A briar and a rose

Well I don't know how long it's been
But I was born in Brennan's Glenn
And near the end of spring there grows
A briar and a rose

I picked the rose one early morn
I pricked my finger on a thorn
It had grown so close
It's winding wove briar 'round the rose

I tried to tear them both apart
I felt a bullet through my heart
And all dressed up in springs new clothes
A 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

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
