[ti:Star of the County Down]

[al:Musique Celtic]
[00:35.94] Near banbridge town in the county down
[00:40.12] One morning last july,
[00:44.45] Down a bóithrín green came a sweet cailín
[00:48.72] And she smiled as she passed me by.
[00:53.05] From bantry bay up to derry quay and
[00:58.21] From galway to dublin town,
[01:02.14] No maid I've seen like the brown colleen
[01:06.60] That I met in the county down.
[01:28.69] She looked so sweet from her two bare feet
[01:33.07] To the sheen of her nut brown hair.
[01:37.34] Such a coaxing elf, sure I shook myself
[01:41.77] For to see I was really there.
[01:46.22] From bantry bay up to derry quay and
[01:50.96] From galway to dublin town,
[01:55.09] No maid I've seen like the brown colleen
[01:59.32] That I met in the county down.
[02:21.68] As she onward sped, sure I scratched my head,
[02:25.83] And I looked with a feelin' rare,
[02:29.63] And I say's, say's i, to a passer-by,
[02:34.73] "whose the maid with the nut brown hair"? “
[02:39.02] He smiled at me and he says's, say's he,
[02:43.54] "that's the gem of ireland's crown. “
[02:47.84] It's rosie mccann from the banks of the bann,
[02:51.85] She's the star of the county down".
[03:48.21] At the harvest fair she'll be surely there
[03:52.82] And I'll dress in my sunday clothes,
[03:57.37] With my shoes shone bright and my hat cocked
[04:01.45] Right for a smile from my nut brown rose.
[04:06.03] No pipe I'll smoke, no horse I'll yoke
[04:10.02] Till my plough turns rust coloured brown.
[04:14.55] Till a smiling bride, by my own fireside
[04:18.82] Sits the star of the county down.
[04:23.40] From bantry bay up to derry ouay and
[04:28.02] From galway to dublin town,
[04:32.24] No maid I've seen like the brown colleen
[04:36.41] That I met in the county down.
[04:40.76] From bantry bay up to derry ouay and
[04:45.30] From galway to dublin town,
[04:49.58] No maid I've seen like the brown colleen
[04:57.01] That I met in the county down.
