neck - 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 p-ssed 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 p-sser-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.
