The Star Of The County Down-The Pogues

[00:10.08]Near Banbridge Town in the County Down [00:12.69]One morning last July [00:15.84]A boreen green came a sweet colleen [00:17.88]And she smiled as she passed me by [00:20.49]She looked so sweet from her two bare feet [00:22.86]To the sheen of her nut brown hair [00:25.47]Such a coaxing elf, sure I shook myself [00:28.11]For to see I was really there [00:30.72]From Bantry Bay down to Derry Quay and [00:33.75]From Galway to Dublin Town [00:35.82]No maid I've seen like the brown colleen [00:38.49]That I met in the County Down [00:41.04]As she onward sped, sure I scratched my head [00:43.86]And I looked with a feelin' rare [00:45.12]And I says, says I, to a passer-by [00:48.78]"Whose the maid with the nut brown hair?" [00:52.59]He smiled at me and he says's, says's he [00:53.52]"That's the gem of Ireland's crown [00:55.80]Young Rosie McCann from the banks of a Bann [00:59.16]She's the star of the County Down" [01:01.83]From Bantry Bay down to Derry Quay and [01:04.74]From Galway to Dublin Town [01:06.81]No maid I've seen like the brown colleen [01:09.84]That I met in the County Down [01:10.89]At the Harvest Fair she'll be surely there [01:34.98]I'll dress in my Sunday clothes [01:38.40]My shoes shone bright and my hat cocked [01:39.63]Right for a smile from my nut brown rose [01:42.54]No pipe I'll smoke, no horse I'll yoke [01:45.00]Till my plough turns rust colored brown [01:48.87]Till a smiling bride, by my own fireside [01:50.16]Sits the star of the County Down [01:52.89]From Bantry Bay down to Derry Quay and [01:56.43]From Galway to Dublin Town [01:57.78]No maid I've seen like the brown colleen [02:00.36]That I met in the County Down [02:03.09]From Bantry Bay down to Derry Quay and [02:05.88]From Galway to Dublin Town [02:07.11]No maid I've seen like the brown colleen [02:17.43]That I met in the County Down
