Lyrics

[00:02.50] Near Banbridge town, in the County Down
[00:05.52] One morning last July
[00:08.29] Down a bóithrín green came a sweet colleen
[00:10.52] And she smiled as she passed me by.
[00:13.72] Oh she looked so sweet from her two bare feet
[00:15.90] To the sheen of her nut brown hair.
[00:19.10] Such a coaxing elf, that I pinched myself
[00:21.52] For to see I was standing there.
[00:24.58] And from Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay
[00:27.22] And from Galway to Dublin town
[00:30.15] No maid I've seen like the sweet colleen
[00:32.74] That I met in the county down.
[00:38.28] As she onward sped, well I scratched my head,
[00:40.99] And I looked with a feelin' rare,
[00:43.76] And I say's, say's I, to a passer-by,
[00:46.38] "Who's that maid with the nut-brown hair?"
[00:49.10] Oh he smiled at me and he said, say's he,
[00:51.58] "She's the gem of Ireland's crown.
[00:54.65] Young Rosie McCann from the banks of the Bann,
[00:57.34] She's the star of the county down."
[01:00.00] And from Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay
[01:02.52] And from Galway to Dublin town,
[01:05.16] No maid I've seen like the sweet colleen
[01:08.17] That I met in the county down.
[01:13.65] Well I've travelled a bit, but I've never been hit
[01:16.00] Since my roving career began
[01:19.08] But fair and square I surrendered there
[01:21.76] To the charms of young Rose McCann.
[01:24.42] With a heart to let and no tenant yet
[01:27.22] Did I meet with in shawl or gown
[01:30.00] But in she went and I asked no rent
[01:32.66] From the star of the County Down.
[01:35.34] From the Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay
[01:38.23] And from Galway to Dublin town
[01:40.94] No maid I've seen like the sweet colleen
[01:43.64] That I met in the county down.
