The Star Of The County Down - Celtic Thunder

In Banbridge Town near the County Down

One morning last July

Down a boreen green came a sweet colleen

And she smiled as she passed me by

She looked so sweet

From her two bare feet

To the sheen of her nutbrown hair

Such a coaxing elf

Sure I shook myself

For to see I was really there

From Bantry Bay down to Derry Quay

And from Galway to Dublin Town

No maid I've seen like the brown colleen

That I met in the County Down

As she onward sped

Sure I scratched my head

And I looked with a feeling rare

And I says says I

To a passer by

Who's the maid with the nutbrown hair

He smiled at me and he said said he

She's the gem of Ireland's crown

Young Rosie mccann from

The banks of the Bann

She's the Star of the County Down

From Bantry Bay down to Derry Quay

And from Galway to Dublin Town

No maid I've seen like the brown colleen

That I met in the County Down

I've travelled a bit but was never smit

Since my roving career began

But fair and square

I surrendered there

To the charms of Rose mccann

I'd a heart to let

And no tenant yet

Had I met in a shawl or gown

But in she went

And I asked no rent

From the Star of the County Down

From Bantry Bay down to Derry Quay

And from Galway to Dublin Town

No maid I've seen like the brown colleen

That I met in the County Down

At the harvest fair

She'll be surely there

So I'll dress in my Sunday clothes

With my shoes shone bright

And my hat cocked right

For a smile from my nutbrown rose

No pipe I'll smoke

No horse I'll yoke

'Til my plough is a rus coloured brown

'Til a smiling bride

By my own fireside

Sits the Star of the County Down

From Bantry Bay down to Derry Quay

And from Galway to Dublin Town

No maid I've seen like the brown colleen

That I met in the County Down

From Bantry Bay down to Derry Quay

And from Galway to Dublin Town

No maid I've seen like the brown colleen

That I met in the County Down
