Verses
| †What a goodly thing If the children of the earth Could dwell together In peace. |
Hey, ho, nobody's home Meat nor drink nor money have I none Still I will be very, very merry Hey, ho, nobody's home. |
| Rose, Rose, Rose, Rose Will I ever see thee red? I will marry at thy will, sire, At thy will. |
Ah poor bird Take thy flight High above the sorrows Of this sad night |
| Ding dong, ding dong Wedding bells on an April morn Carve my name on a moss covered stone, On a moss covered stone. |
Ding dong, ding dong Funeral bells on a September morn, Rose, oh Rose, is dead and gone sire, Dead and gone. |

Shalom chaverim, shalom chaverim, |
