[00:12.64]Near banbridge town in the county down
[00:15.74]One morning last july,
[00:18.26]Down a bóithrín green came a sweet cailín
[00:21.89]And she smiled as she passed me by.
[00:24.72]She looked so sweet from her two bare feet
[00:28.37]To the sheen of her nut brown hair.
[00:30.97]Such a coaxing elf, sure I shook myself
[00:34.53]For to see I was really there.
[00:37.29]From bantry bay up to derry quay and
[00:40.95]From galway to dublin town,
[00:43.53]No maid I've seen like the brown colleen
[00:47.01]That I met in the county down.
[00:49.91]As she onward sped, sure I scratched my head,
[00:53.46]And I looked with a feelin' rare,
[00:56.15]And I say's, say's i, to a passer-by,
[00:59.67]"whose the maid with the nut brown hair"? “
[01:02.43]He smiled at me and he says's, say's he,
[01:06.32]"that's the gem of ireland's crown. “
[01:08.92]She's rosie mccann from the banks of the bann,
[01:12.35]She's the star of the county down".
[01:15.30]From bantry bay up to derry quay and
[01:18.62]From galway to dublin town,
[01:21.07]No maid I've seen like the brown colleen
[01:24.92]That I met in the county down.
[01:28.42]...
[01:40.57]At the harvest fair she'll be surely there
[01:44.10]And I'll dress in my sunday clothes,
[01:46.95]Right for a smile from my nut brown rose.
[01:53.32]No pipe I'll smoke, no horse I'll yoke
[01:56.80]Till my plough turns rust coloured brown.
[01:59.70]Till a smiling bride, by my own fireside
[02:03.03]Sits the star of the county down.
[02:05.85]From bantry bay up to derry ouay and
[02:09.29]From galway to dublin town,
[02:12.16]No maid I've seen like the brown colleen
[02:15.60]That I met in the county down.
[02:18.36]From bantry bay up to derry quay and
[02:22.27]From galway to dublin town,
[02:24.69]No maid I've seen like the brown colleen
[02:33.20]That I met in the county down.
