[00:08.32]	Near banbridge town in the county down
[00:10.39]	One morning last july,
[00:12.68]	Down a bóithrín green came a sweet cailín
[00:15.74]	And she smiled as she passed me by.
[00:17.98]	She looked so sweet from her two bare feet
[00:21.36]	To the sheen of her nut brown hair.
[00:23.41]	Such a coaxing elf, sure I shook myself
[00:26.34]	For to see I was really there.
[00:28.57]	From bantry bay up to derry quay and
[00:31.74]	From galway to dublin town,
[00:34.01]	No maid I've seen like the brown colleen
[00:37.09]	That I met in the county down.
[00:43.94]	As she onward sped, sure I scratched my head,
[00:46.66]	And I looked with a feelin' rare,
[00:48.70]	And I say's, say's i, to a passer-by,
[00:51.83]	"whose the maid with the nut brown hair"? “
[00:54.10]	He smiled at me and he says's, say's he,
[00:57.14]	"that's the gem of ireland's crown. “
[00:59.61]	She's rosie mccann from the banks of the bann,
[01:02.57]	She's the star of the county down".
[01:05.05]	From bantry bay up to derry quay and
[01:07.90]	From galway to dublin town,
[01:10.24]	No maid I've seen like the brown colleen
[01:13.11]	That I met in the county down.
[01:15.94]	...
[01:21.02]	At the harvest fair she'll be surely there
[01:25.07]	And I'll dress in my sunday clothes,
[01:29.73]	Right for a smile from my nut brown rose.
[01:39.89]	No pipe I'll smoke, no horse I'll yoke
[01:45.35]	Till my plough turns rust coloured brown.
[01:49.68]	Till a smiling bride, by my own fireside
[01:55.27]	Sits the star of the county down.
[01:59.21]	...
[02:14.99]	From bantry bay up to derry ouay and
[02:17.40]	From galway to dublin town,
[02:19.14]	No maid I've seen like the brown colleen
[02:22.35]	That I met in the county down.
