[00:27.379]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
