Lyrics Star of the County Down

Near to 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 looked so sweet from her two bare feet
To the sheen of her nut-brown hair
Such the coaxing elf sure I'd shook myself for I 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 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 said says I to a passer-by
Who's the maid with the nut-brown hair?
He smiled at me and he say's say's 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 brown colleen that I met in the county Down
Hey hey hey
At the Harvest fair she'll be surely there
And I'll dress in my Sunday clothes
And 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 colored brown
'Till a smiling bride by my own fireside
Sits 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 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 brown colleen that I met in the county Down
