Star of the County Down
Near Banridge town in the county down one morning last July From a Booring green came a sweet Colleen, She smiled as she passed me by She looked so sweet, from her two bare feet to the shine of he nut brown hair Such a coaxing little elf, sure I shook myself for to see if I was really there From Bantry Bay on the Derry Quay From Gollway to Dublin town Now a maid I seen like the Brown Colleen That I met in the County Down As she onward sped, sure I scratched my head And I looked with the feelin' rare And I say's say's I to passer by 'Who's the maid with the nut brown hair?' He smiled at me and he say's say's he 'That's the gem of Ireland's crown' Young Rosie McCann from the banks of the Bann She's the Star of the County Down From Bantry Bay on the Derry Quay From Gollway to Dublin town Now a maid I seen like the fair Colleen That I met in the County Down At the Harvest fair, she'll be surely there And I dessed in my Sunday clothes With my shoes shone bright and my hat cocked right Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com For a smile from my nut brown rose No puff of smoke, no horse I yoke and my plow is rust coloured brown 'Till the smilin' bride brought home by my side Tis the Star of the County Down From Bantry Bay on the Derry Quay From Gollway to Dublin town Now a maid I seen like the Brown Colleen That I met in the County Down From Bantry Bay on the Derry Quay From Gollway to Dublin town Now a maid I seen like the Brown Colleen That I met in the County Down From Bantry Bay on the Derry Quay From Gollway to Dublin town Now a maid I seen like the Brown Colleen That I met in the County Down From Bantry Bay on the Derry Quay From Gollway to Dublin town Now a maid I seen like the Brown Colleen That I met in the County Down
