The Star of the County Down - Frank Patterson[00:00:00]
Near Banbridge town in the County Down[00:00:05]
One morning in July[00:00:08]
Down a boreen green came a sweet colleen[00:00:10]
And she smiled as she passed me by [00:00:13]
She looked so sweet from her two white feet[00:00:16]
To the sheen of her nut-brown hair[00:00:18]
Such a coaxing elf I'd to shake myself[00:00:21]
To make sure I was standing there [00:00:23]
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay[00:00:26]
And from Galway to Dublin town[00:00:29]
No maid I've seen like the sweet colleen[00:00:31]
That I met in the County Down [00:00:34]
As she onward sped I shook my head[00:00:42]
And I gazed with a feeling rare[00:00:45]
And I said says I to a passerby[00:00:47]
"Who's the maid with the nut-brown hair "[00:00:50]
He smiled at me and with pride says he [00:00:52]
"That's the gem of Ireland's crown [00:00:55]
She's young Rosie McCann[00:00:58]
From the banks of the Bann[00:00:59]
She's the star of the County Down "[00:01:00]
From bantry bay up to derry quay and[00:01:03]
From galway to dublin town [00:01:06]
No maid I've seen like the brown colleen[00:01:08]
That I met in the county down [00:01:11]
At the harvest fair she'll be surely there[00:01:24]
And I'll dress in my sunday clothes [00:01:27]
With my shoes shone bright and my hat cocked[00:01:29]
Right for a smile from my nut brown rose [00:01:32]
No pipe I'll smoke no horse I'll yoke[00:01:34]
Till my plough turns rust coloured brown [00:01:37]
Till a smiling bride by my own fireside[00:01:40]
Sits the star of the county down [00:01:42]
From bantry bay up to derry ouay and[00:01:45]
From galway to dublin town [00:01:48]
No maid I've seen like the brown colleen[00:01:50]
That I met in the county down[00:01:56]
