Banbridge Town in the County Down |
| [00:31.789] |
One morning last July |
| [00:34.882] |
From a boreen green came a sweet colleen |
| [00:37.923] |
And she smiled as she passed me by |
| [00:41.086] |
She looked so sweet from her two bare feet |
| [00:44.385] |
To the sheen of her nut brown hair |
| [00:47.299] |
Such a coaxing elf, sure I shook myself |
| [00:50.608] |
For to see I was really there |
| [00:53.940] |
From Bantry Bay into Derry Quay |
| [00:56.809] |
From Galway to Dublin Town |
| [00:59.295] |
No maid I've seen like the fair colleen |
| [01:03.252] |
That I met in the County Down |
| [01:07.922] |
|
| [01:14.589] |
As she onward sped, sure I scratched my head |
| [01:17.507] |
And I looked with a feelin' rare |
| [01:20.525] |
And I says, says I, to a passer-by |
| [01:23.636] |
Who's the maid with the nut brown hair? |
| [01:26.767] |
He smiled at me and he says, says he |
| [01:29.779] |
That's the gem of Ireland's crown |
| [01:32.910] |
Young Rosie McCann from the banks of the Bann |
| [01:36.066] |
She's the star of the County Down. |
| [01:39.177] |
From Bantry Bay into Derry Quay |
| [01:42.261] |
From Galway to Dublin Town |
| [01:45.373] |
No maid I've seen like the fair colleen |
| [01:48.509] |
That I met in the County Down |
| [01:51.714] |
|
| [02:18.680] |
The Harvest Fair she'll be surely there |
| [02:21.560] |
And I'll dress in my Sunday clothes |
| [02:24.641] |
With my shoes shone bright and my hat cocked right |
| [02:27.984] |
For a smile from my nut brown rose |
| [02:30.890] |
No pipe I'll smoke, no horse I'll yoke |
| [02:34.016] |
Till my plough turns rust coloured brown |
| [02:37.027] |
Till my smiling bride by my own fireside |
| [02:40.638] |
Sits the star of the County Down |
| [02:43.692] |
From Bantry Bay into Derry Quay |
| [02:47.405] |
From Galway to Dublin Town |
| [02:49.601] |
No maid I've seen like the fair colleen |
| [02:51.781] |
That I met in the County Down |
| [02:56.334] |
From Bantry Bay into Derry Quay |
| [02:59.212] |
From Galway to Dublin Town |
| [03:02.467] |
No maid I've seen like the fair colleen |
| [03:05.536] |
That I met in the County Down |
