Star of the County Down Lyrics by Sean Dagher

Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag (Game Soundtrack - Sea Shanty Edition), Vol. 2

2014

[Verse 1]
Near Banbridge town, in the County Down
One mornin' last July
Down a bóithrín green came a sweet cailín
And she smiled as she passed me by
Oh, she looked so sweet from her two bare feet
To the sheen of her nut-brown hair
Such a whimsome elf, that I pinched myself
For to see I was standing there
[Chorus]
From the Bantry Bay to the Derry Quay
And from Galway to Dublin town
No maid I’ve seen like the sweet cailín
That I met in the County Down
[Verse 2]
As she onward sped while 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?"
Well, he smiled at me, and he said, says 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."
[Chorus]
And from Bantry Bay to the Derry Quay
And from Galway to Dublin town
No maid I've seen like the sweet cailín
That I met in the County Down
[Verse 3]
Well, I've travelled a bit, but I never been hit
Since my roving career began
Got me fair and square, I surrendered there
To the charm of Rosie McCann
With a heart to let and no tenant yet
Did I meet and a row began
But in she went and I asked no rent
From the star of the County Down
[Chorus]
From the Bantry Bay to the Derry Quay
And from Galway to Dublin town
No maid I've seen like the sweet cailín
That I met in the County Down
