Star Of The County Down

Lyrics
V.1 Near Banbridge town, in the county down, One morning last July, Down a boreen green, came a sweet colleen, & she smiled as she passed me by, Br.1 She looked so neat from her two white feet, To the sheen of her nut-brown hair, -Such a coaxing elf, sure, I shook myself, Just to see I was really there! Ch. From Bantry bay, up to Derry quay, From Galway to Dublin town, No maid I've seen like the sweet colleen, That I met in the County Down. V.2 As she onward sped, sure I scratched my head, & I looked with a feeling rare, & I says, says I, to a passer-by, Who's the maid with the nut-brown hair? Br.2 He smiled at me, & he says, says he She's the gem in Ireland's crown, Young Rosie McCann from banks of the Bann, She's the star of the County Down! Ch.> From Bantry bay, etc. V.3 At the harvest fair, she'll surely be there, So I'll dress in my Sunday clothes, & I'll try sheep's eyes & deludherin' lies, On the heart of my nut-brown Rose, Br.3 No pipe I'll smoke, no horse I'll yoke, Though my plough with rust turns brown, Til a smilin' bride by my own fireside, Sits the star of the County Down. Ch.(x4)> from Bantry bay, etc.
