The Star Of The County Down (邓恩郡之星) - John McCormack (麦考梅克)[00:00:00]
Near Banbridge town,[00:00:05]
in the County Down[00:00:07]
One evening last July[00:00:08]
Down a boithrin green came a sweet cailin[00:00:11]
And she smiled as she passed me by.[00:00:14]
She looked so neat in her two bare feet[00:00:17]
To the sheen of her nut-brown hair[00:00:20]
Such a coaxing elf,[00:00:22]
I'd to shake myself[00:00:24]
To make sure I was standing there.[00:00:25]
From Bantry Bay down to Derry Quay[00:00:28]
From Galway to Dublin town[00:00:30]
No maid I've seen like the fair cailin[00:00:33]
That I met in the County Down.[00:00:36]
As she onward sped I shook my head[00:00:43]
And I gazed with a feeling queer[00:00:46]
And I said, says I, to a passerby[00:00:49]
"Who's your one with the nut-brown hair?"[00:00:51]
He smiled at me, and with pride says he,[00:00:54]
"She's the gem of old Ireland's crown.[00:00:56]
Young Rosie McCann from[00:00:59]
the banks of the Bann[00:01:00]
And the star of the County Down."[00:01:02]
From Bantry Bay down to Derry Quay[00:01:04]
From Galway to Dublin town[00:01:07]
No maid I've seen like the fair cailin[00:01:09]
That I met in the County Down.[00:01:12]
At the harvest fair she'll be surely there[00:01:20]
and I'll dress my Sunday clothes[00:01:23]
With my hat cocked right[00:01:26]
and my shoes shon bright[00:01:27]
for a smile from the nut-brown Rose[00:01:29]
No horse I'll yoke, or pipe I smoke,[00:01:31]
'til the rust in my plough turn brown[00:01:34]
And a smiling bride by my own fireside[00:01:37]
sits the star of the County Down[00:01:40]
From Bantry Bay down to Derry Quay[00:01:43]
From Galway to Dublin town[00:01:45]
No maid I've seen like the fair cailin[00:01:46]
That I met in the County Down.[00:01:50]
