Star Of The County Down - The High Kings[00:00:00]
Near banbridge town in the county down[00:00:00]
One evening last july[00:00:02]
Down a bóithrín green came a sweet cailín[00:00:04]
And she smiled as she passed me by[00:00:06]
She looked so neat in her two bare feet[00:00:08]
To the sheen of her nut brown hair[00:00:11]
Such a coaxing elf i'd to shake myself[00:00:13]
To make sure I was standing there[00:00:15]
From bantry bay down to derry quay[00:00:17]
From galway to dublin town[00:00:19]
No maid i've seen like the fair cailín[00:00:21]
That I met in the county down[00:00:24]
As she onward sped[00:00:26]
I shook my head[00:00:27]
And I gazed with a feeling queer[00:00:28]
And I said says I to a passerby[00:00:30]
Who's your one with the nut brown hair[00:00:32]
He smiled at me and with pride says he[00:00:35]
She's the gem of old ireland's crown[00:00:37]
Young rosie mccann[00:00:39]
From the banks of the bann[00:00:40]
And the star of the county down[00:00:41]
From bantry bay down to derry quay[00:00:43]
From galway to dublin town[00:00:45]
No maid i've seen like the fair cailín[00:00:47]
That I met in the county down[00:00:50]
She'd a soft brown eye and[00:00:51]
A look so sly and a smile[00:00:53]
Like the rose in june[00:00:55]
And you held each note[00:00:56]
From her auburn throat[00:00:57]
As she lilted lamenting tunes[00:00:58]
At the pattern dance you'd be in trance[00:01:00]
As she skipped through a jig or reel[00:01:02]
When her eyes she'd roll as she'd lift soul[00:01:05]
And your heart she would likely steal[00:01:08]
From bantry bay down to derry quay[00:01:10]
From galway to dublin town[00:01:12]
No maid i've seen like the fair cailín[00:01:14]
That I met in the county down[00:01:17]
At the harvest fair she'll be surely there[00:01:19]
And i'll dress my sunday clothes[00:01:21]
With my hat cocked right[00:01:23]
And my shoes shon bright[00:01:24]
For a smile from the nut brown rose[00:01:25]
No horse i'll yoke or pipe I smoke[00:01:27]
Till the rust in my plough turn brown[00:01:30]
And a smiling bride by my own fireside[00:01:32]
Sits the star of the county down[00:01:34]
From bantry bay down to derry quay[00:01:36]
From galway to dublin town[00:01:38]
No maid i've seen like the fair cailín[00:01:40]
That I met in the county down[00:01:43]
She'd a soft brown eye and[00:01:53]
A look so sly and a smile[00:01:55]
Like the rose in june[00:01:56]
And you held each note[00:01:58]
From her auburn throat[00:01:59]
As she lilted lamenting tunes[00:02:00]
At the pattern dance you'd be in trance[00:02:02]
As she skipped through a jig or reel[00:02:04]
When her eyes she'd roll[00:02:07]
As she'd lift soul[00:02:09]
And your heart[00:02:10]
She would likely steal[00:02:10]
From bantry bay down to derry quay[00:02:29]
From galway to dublin town[00:02:31]
