[00:00.34]Star Of The County Down
[00:27.26]In Banbridge Town in the County Down
[00:29.90]One morning last July
[00:33.28]From a boreen green came a sweet colleen
[00:35.65]And she smiled as she passed me by
[00:39.29]She looked so sweet fronn her two bare feet
[00:41.83]To the sheen of her nut brown hair
[00:44.73]Such a coaxing elf, sure I shook myself
[00:47.78]For to see I was really there
[00:51.64]From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay and
[00:54.48]From Galway to Dublin Town
[00:57.56]No maid I've seen like the brown colleen
[01:00.29]That I met in the County Down
[01:18.81]As she onward sped, sure I scratched my head
[01:21.53]And I looked with a feelin' rare
[01:24.68]And I say's, say's I, to a passer-by
[01:27.35]Whose the maid with the nut brown hair'?
[01:30.91]He smiled at me and he says
[01:33.65]That's the gem of Ireland's crown
[01:36.55]It's Rosie McCann from the banks of the Bann
[01:39.67]She's the star of the County Down
[01:44.13]From Bantry Bay up to Derry Ouay and
[01:47.02]From Galway to Dublin Town
[01:48.93]No maid I've seen like the brown colleen
[01:52.09]That I met in the County Down
[02:22.64]At the Harvest Fair she'll be surely there
[02:25.35]And I'll dress in my Sunday clothes
[02:28.42]With my shoes shone bright and my hat cocked
[02:31.48]Right for a smile from my nut brown rose
[02:34.58]No pipe I'll smoke, no horse I'll yoke
[02:37.20]Till my plough turns rust coloured brown
[02:40.62]Till a smiling bride, by my own fireside
[02:43.68]Sits the star of the County Down
[02:46.91]From Bantry Bay up to Derry Ouay and
[02:49.64]From Galway to Dublin Town
[02:52.80]No maid I've seen like the brown colleen
[02:55.73]That I met in the County Down
