|
| [00:18.74] |
Near Banbridge town, in the County Down |
| [00:23.41] |
One morning in July |
| [00:28.14] |
Down a boreen green came a sweet colleen |
| [00:32.84] |
And she smiled as she passed me by. |
| [00:37.52] |
She looked so sweet from her two white feet |
| [00:42.47] |
To the sheen of her nut-brown hair |
| [00:47.34] |
Such a coaxing elf, I'd to shake myself |
| [00:52.24] |
To make sure I was standing there. |
| [00:56.72] |
As she onward sped,sure I shook my head |
| [01:01.60] |
And I gazed with a feeling rare |
| [01:06.42] |
And I said, says I, to a passerby |
| [01:11.35] |
Who's the maid with the nut-brown hair? |
| [01:16.42] |
He smiled at me, and with pride says he |
| [01:21.30] |
That's the gem of Ireland's crown. |
| [01:25.18] |
She's young Rosie McCann from the banks of the Bann |
| [01:30.62] |
She's the star of the County Down. |
| [01:35.69] |
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay |
| [01:40.22] |
And from Galway to Dublin town |
| [01:44.51] |
No maid I've seen like the brown colleen |
| [01:49.99] |
That I met in the County Down. |
| [01:54.69] |
At the harvest fair She'll be surely there |
| [01:59.38] |
So I'll dress in my Sunday clothes |
| [02:03.95] |
With my hat just right and my shoes shined bright and from my nut-brown rose. |
| [02:13.75] |
No pipe I'll smoke, no horse I'll yoke |
| [02:18.83] |
Till my plough turns rust coloured brown. |
| [02:23.66] |
Till a smiling bride, by my own fireside |
| [02:28.44] |
Sits the star of the county down. |
| [02:32.84] |
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay |
| [02:37.78] |
And from Galway to Dublin town |
| [02:42.46] |
No maid I've seen like the brown colleen |
| [02:47.75] |
That I met in the County Down. |
| [02:52.03] |
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay |
| [02:57.20] |
And from Galway to Dublin town |
| [03:01.21] |
No maid I've seen like the brown colleen |
| [03:05.83] |
That I met in the County Down. |
| [03:11.75] |
