text: I fell asleep down by the stream
  And there I had the strangest dream
  And down by Brennans Glenn
  There grows a briar and a rose
  Theres a tree in a forest, but I dont know where
  I built a nest out of your hair
  And climbing up into the air
  A briar and a rose
  I dont know how long it has been
  But I was born in Brennans 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
  Theyd grown so close
  Their 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 new clothes
  The briar and the rose
  And when Im buried in my grave
  Tell me so I will know
  Your tears will fall to make love grow
  The briar and the rose
  When Im buried in my grave
  Tell me so I will know
  Your tears will fall to make them grow
  The briar and the rose
  Your tears will fall to make them grow
  The briar and the rose
