Lyrics:
Rose, rose and up she rises,
Rose, rose and up she rises,
Rose, rose and up she rises,
So early in the morning.
Go, choose you now your best liking, (3x)
And also your true lover.
O now I have my best liking, (3x)
And also my true lover.
"Up She Rises" is an American play party song that was collected near Berea, Kentucky from<br> Mrs. Talithah Powell on May 28, 1917.<br> The melody bears a resemblance to the sea chanty "The Drunken Sailor". It seems strange that<br> a sea chanty should show up in the mountains of Kentucky but Louise Pound in Folk-song of<br> Nebraska and the Central West: A Syllabus (1915) relates that the song was known in the<br> midwest as early as 1915, two years before Cecil Sharp collected this song.<br> It was printed in Sharp's English Folk Songs from the Southern Appalachians (1917).<br>
