Near banbridge town in the county down |
| [00:29.859] |
One morning in july |
| [00:32.768] |
Down a boreen green came a sweet colleen |
| [00:35.218] |
And she smiled as she passed me by |
| [00:39.508] |
She looked so sweet from her two white feet |
| [00:41.977] |
To the sheen of her nut-brown hair |
| [00:44.637] |
Such a coaxing elf i'd to shake myself |
| [00:47.327] |
To make sure i was standing there |
| [00:51.457] |
From bantry bay up to derry quay |
| [00:53.987] |
And from galway to dublin town |
| [00:56.627] |
No maid i've seen like the sweet colleen |
| [00:59.297] |
That i met in the county down |
| [01:03.477] |
As she onward sped i shook my head |
| [01:05.897] |
And i gazed with a feeling rare |
| [01:08.617] |
And i said says i to a passerby |
| [01:11.276] |
Who's the maid with the nut-brown hair |
| [01:15.346] |
He smiled at me and with pride says he |
| [01:17.765] |
That's the gem of ireland's crown |
| [01:20.415] |
She's young rosie mccann from the banks of the bann |
| [01:23.75] |
She's the star of the county down |
| [01:27.113] |
From bantry bay up to derry quay |
| [01:29.683] |
And from galway to dublin town |
| [01:32.333] |
No maid i've seen like the sweet colleen |
| [01:35.03] |
That i met in the county down |
| [02:00.189] |
I've travelled a bit but never was hit |
| [02:02.669] |
Since my roving career began |
| [02:05.439] |
But fair and square i surrendered there |
| [02:07.899] |
To the charms of young rose mccann |
| [02:12.19] |
I'd a heart to let and no tenant yet |
| [02:14.529] |
Did i meet with in shawl or gown |
| [02:17.259] |
But in she went and i asked no rent |
| [02:19.739] |
From the star of the county down |
| [02:23.869] |
From bantry bay up to derry quay |
| [02:26.229] |
And from galway to dublin town |
| [02:28.909] |
No maid i've seen like the sweet colleen |
| [02:31.549] |
That i met in the county down |
| [02:34.328] |
From bantry bay up to derry quay |
| [02:36.728] |
And from galway to dublin town |
| [02:40.738] |
No maid i've seen like the sweet colleen |
| [02:46.198] |
That i met in the county down |
