The Star Of The County Down (邓恩郡之星) - The King's Singers (国王歌手合唱团)

Near banbridge town

In the county down

One evening last july

Down a bóithrín green came a sweet cailín

And she smiled as she passed me by

She looked so neat in her two bare feet

To the sheen of her nut brown hair

Such a coaxing elf i'd to shake myself

To make sure i was standing there

From bantry bay down to derry quay

From galway to dublin town

No maid i've seen like the fair cailín

That i met in the county down

As she onward sped i shook my head

And i gazed with a feeling queer

And i said says i to a passerby

Who's your one with the nut brown hair

He smiled at me and with pride says he

She's the gem of old ireland's crown

Young rosie mccann from the banks of the bann

And the star of the county down

From bantry bay down to derry quay

From galway to dublin town

No maid i've seen like the fair cailín

That i met in the county down

She'd a soft brown eye and

A look so sly and a smile like the rose in june

And you held each note from her auburn throat

As she lilted lamenting tunes

At the pattern dance you'd be in trance

As she skipped through a jig or reel

When her eyes she'd roll as she'd lift soul

And your heart she would likely steal

From bantry bay down to derry quay

From galway to dublin town

No maid i've seen like the fair cailín

That i met in the county down

That i met in the county down
