The first big hit for Chauncey Alcott in 1899. On this one, I am doing all 4 voice parts.

Story behind the song
A favorite with Barbershop quartets, this was one of the first Irish ballads to come out of Tin Pan Alley. Other than "Danny Boy", this is probably the premier Irish ballad of all time.
Lyrics
My wild Irish rose, the sweetest flow'r that grows
You may search ev'rywhere, but none can compare
With my wild Irish rose.
My wild Irish rose, the dearest flow'r that grows
And some day for my sake, she may let me take
The bloom from my wild Irish Rose
Enjoyed your version of this GREAT song!
