the kelly family - star of the county down lyrics

paul kelly (pól ó ceallaigh)

[verse 1]
near banbridge town, in the county down
one morning in july
down a bóithrín green came a sweet cailín
and she smiled as she passed me by
she looked so sweet in 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 standing there

[chorus]
from bantry bay up to derry quay
and from galway to dublin town
no maid i’ve seen like the sweet cailín
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 sweet cailín
that i met in the county down

[verse 2]
at the harvest fair i’ll be surely there
and i’ll dress my sunday clothes
and i’ll try sheep’s eyes and deludhering lies
on the heart of the nut+brown rose
no pipe i’ll smoke, no horse i’ll yoke
though the plough with the rust in my turns brown
till a smiling bride by my own fireside
sits the star of the county down
[chorus]
from bantry bay up to derry quay
and from galway to dublin town
no maid i’ve seen like the sweet cailín
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 sweet cailín
that i met in the county down

[instrumantal break]

from bantry bay up to derry quay
and from galway to dublin town
no maid i’ve seen like the sweet cailín
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 sweet cailín
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 sweet cailín
that i met in the county down
