lyrics

Near Banbridge town, at 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-colored hair.
Such a coaxing elf, sure I shook myself, for to see I was really there

CHORUS:
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay and from Galway to Dublin town
No maid I've seen like the fair colleen that I met in County Down

As she onward sped, sure I shook 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 said says he, "That's the gem of all Irelands crown
Young Rose McCann from the banks of the Bann, she's the Star of the County Down"

She'd a soft brown eye and a look so sly and a smile like a rose in June
I hung on each note from her lily-white throat, as she lilted an Irish tune
At the pattern dance I was held in a trance as she tripped through a reel or a jig
When her eyes she'd roll, coaxed upon my soul like a spud on a hungry pig

Well, I've travelled a bit but ne'er was a hit since my roving career began
But fair and square I surrendered there to the charms of young Rose McCann
With a heart to let no tenant yet did I meet with a shawl or gown
In she went and I asked no rent from the Star of the County Down

At the harvest fair she'll be surely there and I'll dress my Sunday clothes
With my shoes shone bright and my hat cocked right for a smile from the nut-brown Rose
No pipe I'd smoke, no horse would I yoke, 'till my plough is with rust covered brown
Until by my side sits a smiling bride, the Star of the County Down
