Near banbridge town in the county down |
| [00:25.16] |
One morning last july, |
| [00:27.67] |
From a boreen green came a sweet colleen |
| [00:30.54] |
And she smiled as she passed me by. |
| [00:33.13] |
She looked so sweet from her two bare feet |
| [00:36.12] |
To the sheen of her nut brown hair. |
| [00:38.52] |
Such a coaxing elf, sure I shook myself |
| [00:40.86] |
For to see I was really there. |
| [00:43.39] |
|
| [00:43.91] |
From bantry bay up to derry quay and |
| [00:46.71] |
From galway to dublin town, |
| [00:49.20] |
No maid I've seen like the brown colleen |
| [00:51.64] |
That I met in the county down. |
| [01:05.19] |
As she onward sped, sure I scratched my head, |
| [01:09.37] |
And I looked with a feelin' rare, |
| [01:11.60] |
And I say's, say's i, to a passer-by, |
| [01:13.72] |
"whose the maid with the nut brown hair"? “ |
| [01:16.49] |
He smiled at me and he says's, say's he, |
| [01:19.12] |
"that's the gem of ireland's crown. “ |
| [01:21.98] |
It's rosie mccann from the banks of the bann, |
| [01:27.44] |
She's the star of the county down". |
| [01:29.11] |
|
| [01:29.85] |
From bantry bay up to derry ouay and |
| [01:32.85] |
From galway to dublin town, |
| [01:35.54] |
No maid I've seen like the brown colleen |
| [01:38.16] |
That I met in the county down. |
| [01:53.30] |
At the harvest fair she'll be surely there |
| [01:56.65] |
And I'll dress in my sunday clothes, |
| [01:59.28] |
With my shoes shone bright and my hat cocked |
| [02:02.05] |
Right for a smile from my nut brown rose. |
| [02:04.43] |
No pipe I'll smoke, no horse I'll yoke |
| [02:06.25] |
Till my plough turns rust coloured brown. |
| [02:09.49] |
Till a smiling bride, by my own fireside |
| [02:12.46] |
Sits the star of the county down. |
| [02:14.86] |
From bantry bay up to derry ouay and |
| [02:17.94] |
From galway to dublin town, |
| [02:20.34] |
No maid I've seen like the brown colleen |

From bantry bay up to derry ouay and |
| [02:28.32] |
From galway to dublin town, |

That I met in the county down. |
