Eva Cassidy - My Love Is Like A Red Red Rose Lyrics






My love's like a red, red rose
That's newly sprung in June;

My love is like a melody
So sweetly play'd in tune

As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in love am I;
And I will love thee still, my dear,
Though all the seas gone dry.

Though all the seas gone dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt with the sun;
I will love thee still my dear,
Though the sands o' life shall run.

So fare-thee-weel, my only love!
And fare-thee-weel awhile!
And I will come to you again,
Though it were ten thousand miles!

Though it were ten thousand miles, my dear
Though it twere ten thousand miles.
I will come to you again.
Though it twere ten thousand miles.

Eva Cassidy My Love Is Like A Red Red Rose Comments
  1. T.... M....

    Not my favourite version of this song. I've known and liked this song, sung to this melody, so much over the years but it doesna sound just right to me. The singing is lovely, but I don't care for the particular embellishments and improvisations she does on this.

  2. T.... M....

    Eva alters rhythm and plays around with the melody. and also puts in unusual stresses in a manner that was very overdone by a lot of folk singers in Scotland in the 80's and probably before and after for a number if years. I don't think Evav overdoes oit ito the extent that many did, but it still puts me personally off a little. To me it seesm predictable almost hackneyed. I prefer it sing straight. Kenneth McKellar's version with his fine tenor voice appropriately restrained to express the tenderness of this song is my favourite.

    Beautiful music composition, her music lives forever. R.i.p. Eva Cassidy, the Lord Jesus Christ loves you so much, thank you for your wonderful music.

    이분의 목소리는 철저히 소리 그 자체에만 귀기울이게 합니다.그리고 특히나 이곡은 섬세한 힘조절이 가장 잘 드러나는데, 이건 부르신분의 성격이 노래에 고스란히 반영된 것

    LYRICS
    O my Luve is like a red, red rose
    That’s newly sprung in June;
    O my Luve is like the melody
    That’s sweetly played in tune.

    So fair thou art, my bonnie lass,
    So deep in luve am I;
    And I will luve thee still, my dear,
    Till a’ the seas gang dry.

    Till a’ the seas gang dry, my dear,
    And the rocks melt wi’ the sun;
    I will love thee still, my dear,
    While the sands o’ life shall run.

    And fare thee weel, my only luve!
    And fare thee weel awhile!
    And I will come to you again,
    Though it were ten thousand mile.

    My great N.Z. friend Robyn used to sing this for his fellow POW's while incarcerated in camps in Poland and Germany. He had a great voice and expressed regret that he was unsure of the words until he could confirm them after the war.

  31. G.... G....

    ...a voice of an angel - clarity and the guitar playing is wow!

  32. S.... M....

    If I could have a wish, but it precluded world peace, and health and happiness to my loved ones, then it would be to go back in time for one evening to Blues Alley and listen to Eva live, give her a hug, and tell her how popular she was to become - if I could go back to her childhood, I would ask her to always put lots of a strong sunscreen on when going outside, even in DC in the wintertime.

  33. S.... ....

    This makes me tear ... every time... every word of this masterpiece hits me hard... he promised... he didn't fulfill... because.. life...

    What a voice symply incredible ...........

  37. V.... O....

    I came to Eva when deep pain entered my life. St.Eva helps those with pain live with it, she strokes it with the daylight in her voice, she carries my loneliness with her voice. She holds me when I want to give up, she washes my eyes so I can see hidden layers of tenderness still left in my heart after the war.

    V.... O....

    Voice Of The Firmament she's a voice that heals! Angel Eva!

    V.... O....

    As aproud Scot sang so beauty full bonny lass
