Star of the County Down (Irish Traditional)
Near Banbridge town in the County Down one morning last July, from a boreen green came a sweet Colleen And she smiled as she passed me by. She looked so sweet from her two bare feet To the sheen of her nut-brown hair. Such a coaxing elf, sure I smyself For to so see I was really there.
As she onward sped, sure I scratched my head And I looked with a feeling rare. And I say, say's I, to a passer - by, 'Who's the maid with the nut - brown hair'? He smiled at me and with pride says he, 'She's the gem of Ireland's crown. Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Young Rosie Mc Cann, of 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 Since my roving 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 in shawl or gown
