[00:03.146]
[00:28.956]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
