Star Of The County Down letra

In Banbridge Town in the County Down
One morning last July
From a bóithrín green came a sweet cailín
And she smiled as she passed me by
She looked so sweet fronn her two bare feet
To the sheen of her nut brown hair
Such a winsome elf, sure I shook myself
For to see I was really there

From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay and
From Galway to Dublin Town
No maid I've seen like the brown cailín
That I met in the County Down

As she onward sped, sure I scratched my head
And I looked with a feelin' rare
And I say's, say's I, to a passer-by
Whose the maid with the nut brown hair?
He look at me and he says's, say's he
That's the gem of Ireland's crown
It's Rosie McCann from the banks of the Bann
She's the star of the County Down

From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay and
From Galway to Dublin Town
No maid I've seen like the brown cailín
That I met in the County Down

She'd soft brown eyes with a look so shy
And a smile like a rose in June
And she sang so sweet what a lovely treat
As she lilted an Irish tune
At the Lammas dance I was in the trance
As she whirled with the lads of the town
And it broke my heart just to be apart
From the star of the County Down

From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay and
From Galway to Dublin Town
No maid I've seen like the brown cailín
That I met in the County Down

At the Harvest Fair she'll be surely there
And I'll dress in my Sunday clothes
With my shoes shone bright and my hat cocked
Right for a smile from my nut brown rose
No pipe I'll smoke, no horse I'll yoke
Till my plough turns rust coloured brown
Till a smiling bride, by my own fireside
Sits the star of the County Down
