[al:Peace and Love]
[00:15.92] Near banbridge town in the county down
[00:17.80] One morning last july,
[00:20.94] From a boreen green came a sweet colleen
[00:23.46] And she smiled as she passed me by.
[00:25.99] She looked so sweet from her two bare feet
[00:28.66] To the sheen of her nut brown hair.
[00:30.99] Such a coaxing elf, sure I shook myself
[00:33.50] For to see I was really there.
[00:35.90]
[00:36.29] From bantry bay up to derry quay and
[00:38.39] From galway to dublin town,
[00:40.85] No maid I've seen like the brown colleen
[00:43.63] That I met in the county down.
[00:46.03] As she onward sped, sure I scratched my head,
[00:49.01] And I looked with a feelin' rare,
[00:51.31] And I say's, say's i, to a passer-by,
[00:53.66] "whose the maid with the nut brown hair"? “
[00:56.35] He smiled at me and he says's, say's he,
[00:59.02] "that's the gem of ireland's crown. “
[01:01.55] It's rosie mccann from the banks of the bann,
[01:04.22] She's the star of the county down".
[01:06.28]
[01:06.75] From bantry bay up to derry ouay and
[01:09.32] From galway to dublin town,
[01:11.64] No maid I've seen like the brown colleen
[01:14.09] That I met in the county down.
[01:37.41] At the harvest fair she'll be surely there
[01:40.27] And I'll dress in my sunday clothes,
[01:42.98] With my shoes shone bright and my hat cocked
[01:45.21] Right for a smile from my nut brown rose.
[01:47.53] No pipe I'll smoke, no horse I'll yoke
[01:49.83] Till my plough turns rust coloured brown.
[01:52.29] Till a smiling bride, by my own fireside
[01:55.34] Sits the star of the county down.
[01:57.73] From bantry bay up to derry ouay and
[02:00.37] From galway to dublin town,
[02:02.74] No maid I've seen like the brown colleen
[02:05.18] That I met in the county down.
[02:07.86] From bantry bay up to derry ouay and
[02:10.55] From galway to dublin town,
[02:13.06] No maid I've seen like the brown colleen
[02:18.67] That I met in the county down.
