Star Of The County Down |
| [00:27.26] |
In Banbridge Town in the County Down |
| [00:29.90] |
One morning last July |
| [00:33.28] |
From a boreen green came a sweet colleen |
| [00:35.65] |
And she smiled as she passed me by |
| [00:39.29] |
She looked so sweet fronn her two bare feet |
| [00:41.83] |
To the sheen of her nut brown hair |
| [00:44.73] |
Such a coaxing elf, sure I shook myself |
| [00:47.78] |
For to see I was really there |
| [00:51.64] |
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay and |
| [00:54.48] |
From Galway to Dublin Town |
| [00:57.56] |
No maid I've seen like the brown colleen |
| [01:00.29] |
That I met in the County Down |
| [01:18.81] |
As she onward sped, sure I scratched my head |
| [01:21.53] |
And I looked with a feelin' rare |
| [01:24.68] |
And I say's, say's I, to a passer-by |
| [01:27.35] |
Whose the maid with the nut brown hair'? |
| [01:30.91] |
He smiled at me and he says |
| [01:33.65] |
That's the gem of Ireland's crown |
| [01:36.55] |
It's Rosie McCann from the banks of the Bann |
| [01:39.67] |
She's the star of the County Down |
| [01:44.13] |
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Ouay and |
| [01:47.02] |
From Galway to Dublin Town |
| [01:48.93] |
No maid I've seen like the brown colleen |
| [01:52.09] |
That I met in the County Down |
| [02:22.64] |
At the Harvest Fair she'll be surely there |
| [02:25.35] |
And I'll dress in my Sunday clothes |
| [02:28.42] |
With my shoes shone bright and my hat cocked |
| [02:31.48] |
Right for a smile from my nut brown rose |
| [02:34.58] |
No pipe I'll smoke, no horse I'll yoke |
| [02:37.20] |
Till my plough turns rust coloured brown |
| [02:40.62] |
Till a smiling bride, by my own fireside |
| [02:43.68] |
Sits the star of the County Down |
| [02:46.91] |
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Ouay and |
| [02:49.64] |
From Galway to Dublin Town |
| [02:52.80] |
No maid I've seen like the brown colleen |
| [02:55.73] |
That I met in the County Down |
