- Red is the Rose (Cover) by Seth Staton Watkins
St. Patrick's Day Show House/Livestream tickets: bluestrawberry...
Took a few tries to sing this one without tearing up. One of my favorite Irish ballads and the one I've been singing the longest, Red is the Rose is a melancholy, yet sweet song of love lost, a feeling so many know time and again. Though it pains us, love is worth the cost. So don't close your heart when grief takes its toll. The dawn of another day will always come to brighten the dark recesses of our embittered minds, and herald a renewed hope in all things.
This song is the Irish version of the famous Scottish tune Loch Lomond. It was performed as early as 1934 but was made famous by the oft referred to father of Irish music, Tommy Makem. Since then, many groups have covered it, The High Kings among them.
Lyrics:
Come over the hills, my bonnie Irish lass
Come over the hills to your darling
You choose the road, love, and I'll make the vow
And I'll be your true love forever.
Chorus
Red is the rose that in yonder garden grows
Fair is the lily of the valley
Clear is the water that flows from the Boyne
But my love is fairer than any.
'Twas down by Killarney's green woods that we strayed
When the moon and the stars they were shining
The moon shone its rays on her locks of golden hair
And she swore she'd be my love forever.
Chorus
It's not for the parting that my sister pains
It's not for the grief of my mother
'Tis all for the loss of my bonny Irish lass
That my heart is breaking forever.
Chorus (x2)
Beautiful song, very well done.
Here's to all the broken hearts, may life be filled with sunny skies to warm your hearts and a few rainy days to wash away your tears. Cheers 🍻
Cheers🍻
I couldn't have said it better. Cheers! 🥂
Cheers friend
Seth, forgive an old lady's musings .... but I can't imagine anyone foolish enough to walk away from the likes of you, young man.
I'm going through the exact same thing, brother. Your changing of "golden" to "ebony" struck chord with me. I'd be lying if I said I didn't break down when I heard that. Raise a glass for all the broken hearts out there, mine included. Be well and march on lads
You are not alone friend
@@sethstatonwatkins I started following you on tiktok a while ago. You my friend are one of the best singers I've ever heard in my life.
And to you as well. I'm with you mate.
@@sethstatonwatkins RAISE a glass to that hurt/pain, bcuz it is your SEED in the EARTH of life pushing against the SOUL, to become MORE beautiful., more STRONGER, better then your OLD version! ❤❤❤
Happy Valentine's Day. I hope you all find your true Irish loves
I raise a glass to all the broken hearts.
My oldest son (21) sent this to me. We used to listen to a different version when he was little. He thought this was so beautiful, he wanted to share it with me.
Come over the hills, my bonny Irish lass
Come over the hills to your darling
You choose the rose, love, and I'll make the vow
And I'll be your true love forever
Red is the rose that in yonder garden grows
And fair is the lily of the valley
Oh, and clear is the water that flows from the Boyne
But my love is fairer than any
'Twas down by Killarney's green woods that we strayed
And the moon and the stars, they were shining
Oh, the moon shone its rays on her locks of ebony hair
And she swore she'd by my love forever
Red is the rose that in yonder garden grows
And fair is the lily of the valley
Oh, and clear is the water that flows from the Boyne
But my love is fairer than any
'Tis not for the parting that my sister pains
'Tis not for the grief of my mother
No, 'tis all for the loss of my bonny Irish lass
That my heart is breaking forever
Red is the rose that in yonder garden grows
And fair is the lily of the valley
Oh, and clear is the water that flows from the Boyne
But my love is fairer than any
But my love is fairer than any
Beautiful job my friend. A glass raised to you and the sun on the horizon, even though the clouds hide her face for a time. 🍺
Thank you kindly
How about doing Loch Lomond? I'd love that one!
edwardV20.....the original.

Would absolutely love to to hear you do Loch Lomond, you have a great voice.
this is so beautiful bud, some things happen but all we can do is keep moving forward and sing a good song🖤
Yes!
This came out just as I found my rose
this voice is true beauty man
When one of my friends gets married, we have a tradition of singing a special song in 4 part harmony to their partner at the reception and we sand this song to one of them. It was great! We did a bit of a slower rendition than this, but I love this too!
Wat a brilliant singer, and lovely song I could listen to this over and over
Keep coming back to this song it’s just so beautifully raw, really hope you’re doing ok seth
One of his absolute best❤
What a beautiful use of the melody for loch Lomond
WHO HURT THIS MAN???
Great singer, love him. 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
One day at a time my friend... I have had my share of belting this song in my car on long drives blaming myself and overthinking about what could have been. Keep your head up, keep being an inspiration to those around you, and know that your time is coming my friend. Take comfort in knowing that your music has brought joy to so many around the world! Thank you for beautiful music and keeping some of us (me included) hopeful and inspired. sláinte my friend!
Great cover of a great song
Many people sing that song because it's pretty. You picked it because in that time, you needed it. And that translates beautifully. I'm sorry that heartbreak rendered such a great performance.
Just beautiful 🤩 Thank you ❣️✨💖✨
Bravo 🇮🇹
Great song!
A beautiful and melancholic ballad of old days past. Its tragic but love without loss is not love it all.The love that moves spirits is tragic .A lovely song the best version of this song ever sung
On Raglan road on an autumn day, I saw her first and knew, that her dark hair would weave a snare that I might someday rue.
I’m sorry that fickle mistress love has treated you to this pain, and I thank you for this rendition.
Much appreciated, friend
What a lovely cover. Thank you for sharing your talent and heart with us, even when you might not be okay. That said, sir, I hope that you take some time for yourself, too.
Thank you, friend
My parents sang this song to me as a baby. 🥰
Wow. better than beautiful.
This is one of my favorite songs ever. Yours is my new favorite cover. 😍😍😍
This is so beautiful!!! A song for so many!
Beautiful as always, genuinely one of the best renditions I have ever heard. Wishing you sunshine in any darkness.
Some of the best songs are done this simply. Just the music and a stunning vocal. Well done and beautiful!
Brilliant song, Brilliant singer.
Beautiful 🌹. This is one of the best version I've heard.
Great rendition good sir, I tip my hat and pass you the whisky.
I hope the pain rests soon and the road may rise to meet you.
Slaintè 🇮🇪 Iechyd da 🏴 .
Never get more excited for a new vid alert than when I see it's one of yours. Brilliant, brother, as always.
Yeah boy

Erein when all yee good lads think life can't be worse. Ere that life wants you did or would be better without yeh. Take yourself a drop of whiskey. Tip er hat. And keep walking down that there lonely road. Ere no matter how endless that there road might appear. You'll find herself a mate to share it with. Cheers and god be with yee lads and lasses of this good earth
I feel like my heart is still breaking, and the light at the end of the tunnel keeps getting further away. Also trying to find my twin flame…just when I think I might have just done that…my hope is crushed again…in many ways this song really speaks to me, and hits me right in the heart…I may only be 23, and I know I have my whole life ahead of me. But right now, I feel like my heart is definitely breaking more every day 😔
You'll get through it my friend. Keep your head up. I was once 23 and the pain I felt then did not last forever.
@@sethstatonwatkins thank you Seth, that truly means so much
We have all been there mate, i know its hard to find hope again, but remember that you are not alone!
Great performance my friend. Greetings from Austria 👍🍻
This song always makes me sad but happy. Tha k you for doing it and a love job at that :)!
OUTSTANDING job on this High Kings number Seth. I'm now going deeper into RUclips and Apple to find me some more of your stuff. You're my new best friend. 😃
I’ve been waiting for this you are amazing keep up the great work!!!
Its such an amazing song sung by an amazing voice, able to sing such a heavy song with such passion
Is it me or does this have the same tempo and sound as Loch Lomond? Either way they’re both beautiful
@rottenmouthjohnny8288.......this uses the melody from the earlier song..loch lomond
@@brucecollins641 …….thanks…….
My absolute favorite of yours. Just gorgeous
Best version well done seth
It really is the best version. I have looked, and none that I have found have the emotions behind it that this one does.
Wow, what a beautiful interpretation. You have a great voice!
I hope to hear more of the old traditional Irish folk songs from you, that I love so much
My dude u r awesome. I listen 2 your song and it makes me feel connected 2 my family heritage. U r better than most originals
i broke down crying.
i lost my best friend, my dog who was also my service dog 🐕🦺 🐕 November 23 2022 the day before her 6th birthday.
it came quick and with no warning i called the vets as soon as i realized something was wrong.
the next day at the vets i was told she had liver cancer and it spread to her kidneys and squished her intestines and some other organs.
i was told there was no saving her and even if i had caught it sooner she still would've passed away around the same time.
I felt my heart shatter and felt like i couldn't hear i asked the vet to repeat himself and when he left the room to get my buddy i screamed and cried. "NOT MY BABY!!!"
Since the day she passed away in my arm's ive called her my lilly flower hear for only a day and gone the next. she never to grow grewy fur never got to really have her golden year's.
but i treasure our last hike together.
we went swimming she photo bombed wedding photo's and kissed a baby, she was a tru sweet heart till the very end always makeing sure no one shed a tear.
ive called her day lilly, my lilly of the valley were we enjoyed playing.
Her tribal name was chenoa ayasha tala mosë
Translation. peaceful dove, little wolf. moosey.
It's coming up on a year and ive gone from 4.5 months of non stop crying nearly every hour to grieving and crying when im reminded of her.
this song is absolutely beautiful and exactly what i was looking for, i can close my eyes and relieve the time with my child.
i can also feel your emotions in the song and know for different reasons you have also felt pain were you cry and grieve alot. i cant hug you in person. but take as many virtual hugs 🫂 as you need. and thank you for shareing this song. its beautiful
Very sorry for your loss
@@sethstatonwatkins thank you
Seth I must have missed the beginning of this post when I wrote my comment 11 months ago. As I prepare to perform this song for some folds next month ( St. Patrick's Day and all) , I realized what your were saying at the start. I pray that your heart has healed.

❤❤❤ thx u ‼️‼️‼️…… so much beauty in your vocal articulation 🌹🌹🌹….
Beautiful performance
This song song was still the song that my adoptive parents chose to be their love song. and even after my dads passing its still a song that pulls hard on all of our heart strings. I still sing this for my mom and every time I hear it it makes me think of them and the stories they told me of how they met and their love for each other. One of those stories that makes you think some things are just meant to be.
I was hoping you would cover this one! By far one of my favorites, one of those songs that's upbeat and yet almost painful to listen to. Your voice carries it beautifully.
Amazing as always
Why are there no comments? This is a beautiful song
That's strange there used to be a bunch
The dawn shall come again, and the night is darkest just before the dawn, so make it just one more night. But remember not everyone survived the night. But the dawn shall come again.
I can see the hurt in your eyes and the sorrow in your voice. True we all go through loss in our lives, and music is always there as a comforter and healer. May God bless you and keep you through every trying time in your life. Love you brother.
Fierce powerful stuff altogether
So beautiful, best cover I’ve heard. Could you possibly put this on Spotify and iTunes?
beautiful
So heartfelt! This song is so melancholy, but in an achingly beautiful way. You truly do justice to all the emotion contained within and inspired by it. Thank you for your take on it
Such an amazing talent even through the heartache you can feel every note. I just want to give you (BigSquisshyHuggs)
Wonderful as always however my heart breaks that you've had to experience such heartache. Sending my love
Thank you, friend
I love hearing you sing I really do! You do an amazing job don't let life get you down. Keep up the amazing work my man!!
Beautiful song sir. I may not be Irish but even I have can such as this. God bless in all your in devours
No one should have to feel that pain. The pain of a heart that refuses to stop beating, even when the agony of it slowly breaking is just too much. I wouldn't wish it upon anyone; not even the man who so callously broke me. My mended heart goes out to all those still suffering. You're absolutely not alone and trust me when I say your heart will start healing, my beloved broken beings. For now, its okay to be a little bit in pieces. You'll need those broken bits when you decide you're ready to build yourself back up. Hold strong, my dear ones. You're worth more than what the lowest opinions would have you believe. ❤
I'm crying.. it's beautiful you did wonderfully
Sorry man hope things get better for you. Lovely song btw
Truly stunning! 🥺
Thank you, friend
this is your best cover yet.
Needed this song brother. Thank you.
Where and how (if) can I purchase non digital albums good sir? My children and I both love your music (all 3 know ever word to "calvery" and "black and tans" and the adore you.
Unfortunately I don’t have any available yet but I am working on it
@@sethstatonwatkins It would be awesome if you released vinyl albums they would suit the age of the songs which grace them.
🌞🔥🔥🔥♥️♥️♥️
When will this be on Spotify?!
Where can i buy this song? It's so beautiful!
