Star Of The County Down Lyrics by Tears For Beers

Mud Water Dance

0

Close 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 neat from 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 really there
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay
And from Galway to Dublin town
Na maid I've seen like the brown collen
That I met in the country Down
As sho onward sped sure I sratched my head
And I said with a feeling rare
Ay", says I to a passer by
Who's the maid with the nut-brown hair?"
He smiled at me, and then 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"
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay
And from Galway to Dublin town
Na maid I've seen like the brown collen
That I met in the county Down
At the harvest fair I'll be surely there
And I dress in my Sunday clothes
With my shoes shone bright and my hat upright
And a smile from my nut-brown rose
No pipe I smoke, no horse I'll yoke
Let me plough with a rust turn 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
Na 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
