Star Of County Down
Near Banbgidge town in the County Down one evening past July Down a boreen Green came a sweet colleen and she smiled as she passed me by she looked so sweet in her two white feet to the sheen of her hut-brown hair such a coaxing elf, I'd to shake myself to make sure I was standing there () From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay and from Galway to Dublin town No maid I've seen like the sweet colleen That I met in the County Down
As she onward sped I smy head and I gazed with a feeling rare and I said, Says I, to a passerby 'Who's the maid with the nut-brown hair?' He smiled at me, and with pride says he, 'That's the gem of Irelands crown She's young Rosie McCann from the banks of the Bann She's the star of the county down.' () From Bantry bay up to Derry Quay and from Galway to Dublin town No maid I've seen like the sweet Colleen that I met in the County Down
I've travelled a bit, but never was hit Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Since my riving career began but fair and square I surrendered there To the charms of young Rose McCann. I'd a heart to let and no tenant yet Did I meet with a shawl or gown but in she went and I asked no rent from the star of the County Down () From bantry bay on to Derry Quay and from Galway to Dublin Town No maid I've seen like the sweet colleen That I met in the County Down
At the crossroads fair I'll be surely there and I'll dress in my Sunday clothes and I'll try sheeps eyes, and deludhering lies on the heart of the nut-brown rose No pipe I'll smoke, no horse I'll yoke Though with rust my plow turns brown Till a smiling bride by my own fireside Sits the star of the County Down () From bantry bay up to Derry Quay and from Galway to Dublin Town No maid i've seen like the sweet colleen that I met in the County Down.
