Near Banbridge Town in the County Down

One morning last July

Down a boreen green came a sweet colleen

And she smiled as she passed me by

She looks on me from her two white feet

To the sheen of her nut brown hair

Such a coaxing elf

I'm ashamed of myself

To make sure I was really there

From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay

And from Galway to Dublin Town

No maid I've seen like the sweet Colleen

That I met in the County Down

As I onward sped I shook my head

And I gazed with a feeling queer

Till I said says I to a passerby

Who's the maid with the nutbrown hair

He smiled at me and with pride says he

That'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 up to Derry Quay

And from Galway to Dublin Town

No maid I've seen like the sweet Colleen

That I met in the County Down

At the harvest fair she'll be surely there

So I dress in my Sunday clothes

With my shoes shone bright and my hat cocked right

From a smile from the nutbrown Rose

No pipe I'll smoke no horse I'll yoke

Till my plough is a rust colored brown

Till a smiling bride by my own fireside

Is 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 sweet Colleen

That I met in the County Down

From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay

And from Galway to Dublin Town

No maid I've seen like the sweet Colleen

That I met in the County Down
