The Irish Rovers - The Star Of The County Down(MP3_160K)
[00:18.34] Near Banbridge Town in the County Down
[00:20.59] One morning last July
[00:23.34] Down a boreen green came a sweet colleen
[00:25.59] And she smiled as she passed me by.
[00:27.62] She looked so sweet from her two bare feet
[00:29.84] To the sheen of her nut brown hair.
[00:32.34] Such a winsome elf, I'm ashamed of myself
[00:34.59] For to see I staring there.
[00:36.55] From Bantry Bay up to Derry's Quay
[00:39.09] From Galway to Dublin Town
[00:41.35] No maid I've seen like the fair colleen
[00:43.59] That I met in the County Down.
[00:47.84] As she onward sped, sure I scratched my head
[00:49.34] And I looked with a feelin' rare
[00:51.59] And I say's, say's I, to a passer-by
[00:53.85] "Whose the maid with the nut brown hair"?
[00:56.09] Well he looked at me and he said to me
[00:58.35] "That's the gem of Ireland's crown.
[01:01.09] Young Rosie McCann from the banks of the Bann
[01:03.09] She's the star of the County Down".
[01:05.34] From Bantry Bay up to Derry's Quay and
[01:07.86] From Galway to Dublin Town
[01:09.84] No maid I've seen like the fair colleen
[01:12.34] That I met in the County Down.
[01:15.87] She had soft brown eyes with a look so shy
[01:17.84] and a smile like the rose in June.
[01:20.35] And she sang so sweet what a lovely treat
[01:22.59] as she lilted an Irish tune.
[01:25.09] At the Lammas dance i was in the trance
[01:27.09] As she whirled with the lads of the town.
[01:29.35] And it broke my heart just to be apart
[01:31.59] From the star of the County Down.
[01:34.10] From Bantry Bay up to Derry's Quay and
[01:36.36] From Galway to Dublin Town
[01:38.59] No maid I've seen like the fair colleen
[01:40.86] That I met in the County Down.
[02:01.84] At the Harvest Fair she'll be surely there
[02:04.09] So I'll dress in my Sunday clothes
[02:06.37] With my shoes shone bright and my hat cocked right
[02:08.61] For a smile from my nut brown rose.
[02:11.09] No pipe I'll smoke, no horse I'll yoke
[02:13.36] Till my plough was rust coloured brown.
[02:15.34] And a smiling bride, by my own fireside
[02:17.85] Sits the star of the County Down.
[02:20.10] From Bantry Bay up to Derry's Quay and
[02:22.34] From Galway to Dublin Town
[02:24.84] No maid I've seen like the fair colleen
[02:26.84] That I met in the County Down.
[02:29.55] From Bantry Bay up to Derry's Quay and
[02:31.34] From Galway to Dublin Town
[02:33.84] No maid I've seen like the fair colleen
[02:36.59] That I met in the County Down.
