Near banbridge town in the county down |
| [00:17.80] |
One morning last july, |
| [00:20.94] |
From a boreen green came a sweet colleen |
| [00:23.46] |
And she smiled as she passed me by. |
| [00:25.99] |
She looked so sweet from her two bare feet |
| [00:28.66] |
To the sheen of her nut brown hair. |
| [00:30.99] |
Such a coaxing elf, sure I shook myself |
| [00:33.50] |
For to see I was really there. |
| [00:35.90] |
|
| [00:36.29] |
From bantry bay up to derry quay and |
| [00:38.39] |
From galway to dublin town, |
| [00:40.85] |
No maid I've seen like the brown colleen |
| [00:43.63] |
That I met in the county down. |
| [00:46.03] |
As she onward sped, sure I scratched my head, |
| [00:49.01] |
And I looked with a feelin' rare, |
| [00:51.31] |
And I say's, say's i, to a passer-by, |
| [00:53.66] |
"whose the maid with the nut brown hair"? “ |
| [00:56.35] |
He smiled at me and he says's, say's he, |
| [00:59.02] |
"that's the gem of ireland's crown. “ |
| [01:01.55] |
It's rosie mccann from the banks of the bann, |
| [01:04.22] |
She's the star of the county down". |
| [01:06.28] |
|
| [01:06.75] |
From bantry bay up to derry ouay and |
| [01:09.32] |
From galway to dublin town, |
| [01:11.64] |
No maid I've seen like the brown colleen |
| [01:14.09] |
That I met in the county down. |
| [01:37.41] |
At the harvest fair she'll be surely there |
| [01:40.27] |
And I'll dress in my sunday clothes, |
| [01:42.98] |
With my shoes shone bright and my hat cocked |
| [01:45.21] |
Right for a smile from my nut brown rose. |
| [01:47.53] |
No pipe I'll smoke, no horse I'll yoke |
| [01:49.83] |
Till my plough turns rust coloured brown. |
| [01:52.29] |
Till a smiling bride, by my own fireside |
| [01:55.34] |
Sits the star of the county down. |
| [01:57.73] |
From bantry bay up to derry ouay and |
| [02:00.37] |
From galway to dublin town, |
| [02:02.74] |
No maid I've seen like the brown colleen |
| [02:05.18] |
That I met in the county down. |
| [02:07.86] |
From bantry bay up to derry ouay and |
| [02:10.55] |
From galway to dublin town, |
| [02:13.06] |
No maid I've seen like the brown colleen |
| [02:18.67] |
That I met in the county down. |
