BANKS OF THE ROSES, THE. AKA - "Banks of the Daisies." Irish, Air (4/4 time). F Major. Standard. One part. "There is a setting in Stanford-Petrie with the name, 'The Banks of the Daisies.' The version I give here is different.

If ever I get married it's in the month of May,
When the fields they are green and the meadows they are gay,
When my truelove and I can sit sport and play
All alone on the banks of the roses (Joyce)
