Star Of County Down - The High Kings[00:00:00]
Near Banbridge town in the county down[00:00:39]
One evening last July[00:00:41]
Down a bóithrín green came a sweet cailín[00:00:42]
And she smiled as she passed me by[00:00:45]
She looked so neat in her two bare feet[00:00:46]
To the sheen of her nut brown hair[00:00:48]
Such a coaxing elf I'd to shake myself[00:00:50]
To make sure I was standing there[00:00:52]
From Bantry Bay down to Derry Quay[00:00:53]
From Galway to Dublin town[00:00:55]
No maid I've seen like the fair cailín[00:00:57]
That I met in the county down[00:00:59]
As she onward sped I shook my head[00:01:00]
And I gazed with a feeling queer[00:01:02]
And I said says I to a passerby[00:01:04]
Who's your one with the nut brown hair[00:01:06]
He smiled at me and with pride says he[00:01:08]
She's the gem of old Ireland's crown[00:01:10]
Young Rosie McCann from the banks of the Bann[00:01:11]
And the star of the county down[00:01:13]
From Bantry Bay down to Derry Quay[00:01:15]
From Galway to Dublin town[00:01:17]
No maid I've seen like the fair cailín[00:01:18]
That I met in the county down[00:01:21]
She'd a soft brown eye and[00:01:22]
A look so sly and a smile like the rose in june[00:01:24]
And you held each note from her auburn throat[00:01:26]
As she lilted lamenting tunes[00:01:28]
At the pattern dance you'd be in trance[00:01:30]
As she skipped through a jig or reel[00:01:31]
When her eyes she'd roll as she'd lift soul[00:01:34]
And your heart she would likely steal[00:01:36]
From Bantry Bay down to Derry Quay[00:01:38]
From Galway to Dublin town[00:01:40]
No maid I've seen like the fair cailín[00:01:42]
That I met in the county down[00:01:44]
At the harvest fair she'll be surely there[00:01:45]
And I'll dress my Sunday clothes[00:01:47]
With my hat cocked right[00:01:49]
And my shoes shon bright[00:01:50]
For a smile from the nut brown rose[00:01:51]
No horse I'll yoke or pipe I smoke[00:01:53]
'Til the rust in my plough turn brown[00:01:55]
And a smiling bride by my own fireside[00:01:56]
Sits the star of the county down[00:01:58]
From Bantry Bay down to Derry Quay[00:02:00]
From Galway to Dublin town[00:02:03]
No maid I've seen like the fair cailín[00:02:04]
That I met in the county down[00:02:06]
She'd a soft brown eye and[00:02:17]
A look so sly and a smile like the rose in june[00:02:19]
And you held each note from her auburn throat[00:02:21]
As she lilted lamenting tunes[00:02:24]
At the pattern dance you'd be in trance[00:02:25]
As she skipped through a jig or reel[00:02:27]
When her eyes she'd roll as she'd lift soul[00:02:30]
And your heart she would likely steal[00:02:32]
From Bantry Bay down to Derry Quay[00:02:49]
From Galway to Dublin town[00:02:51]
No maid I've seen like the fair cailín[00:02:52]
That I met in the county down[00:02:55]
Near Banbridge town in the county down[00:02:56]
