Near banbridge town in the county down |
| [00:40.12] |
One morning last july, |
| [00:44.45] |
Down a bóithrín green came a sweet cailín |
| [00:48.72] |
And she smiled as she passed me by. |
| [00:53.05] |
From bantry bay up to derry quay and |
| [00:58.21] |
From galway to dublin town, |
| [01:02.14] |
No maid I've seen like the brown colleen |
| [01:06.60] |
That I met in the county down. |
| [01:28.69] |
She looked so sweet from her two bare feet |
| [01:33.07] |
To the sheen of her nut brown hair. |
| [01:37.34] |
Such a coaxing elf, sure I shook myself |
| [01:41.77] |
For to see I was really there. |
| [01:46.22] |
From bantry bay up to derry quay and |
| [01:50.96] |
From galway to dublin town, |
| [01:55.09] |
No maid I've seen like the brown colleen |
| [01:59.32] |
That I met in the county down. |
| [02:21.68] |
As she onward sped, sure I scratched my head, |
| [02:25.83] |
And I looked with a feelin' rare, |
| [02:29.63] |
And I say's, say's i, to a passer-by, |
| [02:34.73] |
"whose the maid with the nut brown hair"? “ |
| [02:39.02] |
He smiled at me and he says's, say's he, |
| [02:43.54] |
"that's the gem of ireland's crown. “ |
| [02:47.84] |
It's rosie mccann from the banks of the bann, |
| [02:51.85] |
She's the star of the county down". |
| [03:48.21] |
At the harvest fair she'll be surely there |
| [03:52.82] |
And I'll dress in my sunday clothes, |
| [03:57.37] |
With my shoes shone bright and my hat cocked |
| [04:01.45] |
Right for a smile from my nut brown rose. |
| [04:06.03] |
No pipe I'll smoke, no horse I'll yoke |
| [04:10.02] |
Till my plough turns rust coloured brown. |
| [04:14.55] |
Till a smiling bride, by my own fireside |
| [04:18.82] |
Sits the star of the county down. |
| [04:23.40] |
From bantry bay up to derry ouay and |
| [04:28.02] |
From galway to dublin town, |
| [04:32.24] |
No maid I've seen like the brown colleen |
| [04:36.41] |
That I met in the county down. |
| [04:40.76] |
From bantry bay up to derry ouay and |
| [04:45.30] |
From galway to dublin town, |
| [04:49.58] |
No maid I've seen like the brown colleen |
| [04:57.01] |
That I met in the county down. |
| [05:08.10] |
