The Star of the County Down (1989 Digital Remaster) - John McCormack/Gerald Moore[00:00:00]
Written by:Cathal MacGarvey/Traditional English/Herbert Hughes[00:00:03]
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[00:00:31]
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[00:00:44]
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[00:00:57]
Young rosie mccann from[00:01:00]
The banks of the bann[00:01:01]
And the star of the county down[00:01:02]
From bantry bay down to Derry quay[00:01:05]
From galway to Dublin town[00:01:08]
No maid I've seen like the fair cailin[00:01:10]
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[00:01:28]
For a smile from the nut brown rose[00:01:29]
No horse I'll yoke or pipe I smoke[00:01:32]
Til the rust in my plough turn brown[00:01:35]
And a smiling bride by my own fireside[00:01:38]
Sits the star of the county down[00:01:41]
From bantry bay down to Derry quay[00:01:44]
From galway to Dublin town[00:01:46]
No maid I've seen like the fair cailin[00:01:49]
That I met in the county down[00:01:53]
