The Star of Country Down - Barnbrack[00:00:00]
In Banbridge town in the county down[00:00:05]
One morning last July[00:00:07]
Down a boreen green came a sweet colleen[00:00:10]
And she smiled as she passed me by[00:00:12]
She looked so neat from her two bare feet[00:00:15]
To the sheen of her nut brown hair[00:00:17]
Such a coaxing elf sure I shook myself[00:00:20]
To be sure I was really there[00:00:22]
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay and[00:00:25]
Galway to Dublin town[00:00:28]
No maid I've seen like the brown colleen[00:00:30]
That I met in the county down[00:00:32]
As she onward sped sure I scratched my head[00:00:38]
And I looked with a feelin' rare[00:00:40]
And I say's say's I to a passer by[00:00:42]
Whose the maid with the nut brown hair[00:00:45]
He smiled at me and he says say's he[00:00:47]
That's the gem of ireland's crown[00:00:50]
It's Rosie McCann from the banks of the Bann[00:00:52]
She's the star of the county down[00:00:55]
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay and[00:00:57]
Galway to Dublin town[00:01:00]
No maid I've seen like the brown colleen[00:01:02]
That I met in the county down[00:01:05]
At the harvest fair she'll be surely there[00:01:10]
And I'll dress in my Sunday clothes[00:01:12]
With my shoes shone bright and my hat cocked[00:01:15]
Right for a smile from my nut brown rose[00:01:17]
No pipe I'll smoke no horse I'll yoke[00:01:20]
Till my plough turns rust colored brown[00:01:22]
Till a smiling bride by my own fireside[00:01:24]
Sits the star of the county down[00:01:27]
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay and[00:01:29]
Galway to Dublin town[00:01:32]
No maid I've seen like the brown colleen[00:01:34]
That I met in the county down[00:01:37]
