herbert hughes - the star of the county down lyrics
near to banbridge town in the county down
on a morning in july
down a boreen green came a sweet colleen
and she smiled as she passed me by
o she looked so neat from her two white feet
to the sheen of her nut+brown hair
such a coaxin’ elf, i’d to shake myself
to make sure i was really there
o 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 i scratched my head
and i gazed with a feelin’ quare
there i said, says i, to a passer+by
“who’s the maid with the nut+brown hair?”
oh! he smiled at me and with pride says 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
at the harvest fair she’ll be surely there
so i’ll dress in my sunday clothes
and i’ll try sheep’s eyes and deludtherin lies
on the heart of the nut+brown rose
no pipe i’ll smoke, no horse i’ll yoke
tho’ my plough with rust turn brown
till a smiling bride by my own fireside
sits the star of the county down
o 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
