The Star Of County Down (Live) - Finbar Wright[00:00:00]
Written by:Cathal McGarvey[00:00:02]
Near Banbridge Town in the County Down[00:00:13]
One morning last July[00:00:17]
Down a boreen green came a sweet colleen[00:00:20]
And she smiled as she passed me by[00:00:22]
She looks on me from her two white feet[00:00:25]
To the sheen of her nut brown hair[00:00:28]
Such a coaxing elf[00:00:31]
I'm ashamed of myself[00:00:33]
To make sure I was really there[00:00:34]
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay[00:00:37]
And from Galway to Dublin Town[00:00:41]
No maid I've seen like the sweet Colleen[00:00:44]
That I met in the County Down[00:00:47]
As I onward sped I shook my head[00:00:57]
And I gazed with a feeling queer[00:01:00]
Till I said says I to a passerby[00:01:03]
Who's the maid with the nutbrown hair[00:01:06]
He smiled at me and with pride says he[00:01:09]
That's the gem of Ireland's crown[00:01:12]
Young Rosie McCann from the banks of the Bann[00:01:15]
She's the Star of the County Down[00:01:18]
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay[00:01:21]
And from Galway to Dublin Town[00:01:24]
No maid I've seen like the sweet Colleen[00:01:27]
That I met in the County Down[00:01:30]
At the harvest fair she'll be surely there[00:01:41]
So I dress in my Sunday clothes[00:01:44]
With my shoes shone bright and my hat cocked right[00:01:47]
From a smile from the nutbrown Rose[00:01:50]
No pipe I'll smoke no horse I'll yoke[00:01:53]
Till my plough is a rust colored brown[00:01:57]
Till a smiling bride by my own fireside[00:02:00]
Is the Star of the County Down[00:02:03]
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay[00:02:06]
And from Galway to Dublin Town[00:02:09]
No maid I've seen like the sweet Colleen[00:02:12]
That I met in the County Down[00:02:15]
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay[00:02:18]
And from Galway to Dublin Town[00:02:21]
No maid I've seen like the sweet Colleen[00:02:26]
That I met in the County Down[00:02:32]
