《Star of the County Down》歌词

[00:00:00] Star of the County Down - Marc Gunn

[00:00:01] Composed by：traditional

[00:00:15] Near to Banbridge Town in the County Down

[00:00:18] One morning last July

[00:00:22] Down a boreen green came a sweet colleen

[00:00:25] And she smiled as she passed me by

[00:00:28] Well she looked so sweet from her two bare feet

[00:00:32] To the sheen of her nut-brown hair

[00:00:36] Such a coaxing elf sure I shook myself

[00:00:39] To make sure I was really there

[00:00:43] From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay

[00:00:46] And from Galway to Dublin town

[00:00:50] No maid I've seen like the sweet colleen

[00:00:53] That I met in the County Down

[00:00:57] As she onward sped sure I shook my head

[00:01:00] And I looked with a feeling rare

[00:01:04] Then I said says I to a passer-by

[00:01:07] Who's the maid with the nut-brown hair

[00:01:10] Well he smiled at me and with pride says he

[00:01:14] That's the gem of old Ireland's crown

[00:01:18] She's young Rosie McCann from the banks of the Bann

[00:01:21] She's the Star of the County Down

[00:01:25] From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay

[00:01:28] And from Galway to Dublin town

[00:01:31] No maid I've seen like the sweet colleen

[00:01:35] That I met in the County Down

[00:01:45] Well I've traveled a bit but ne'er was hit

[00:01:49] Since my roving career began

[00:01:52] Then fair and square I surrendered there

[00:01:55] To the charms of young Rose McCann

[00:01:59] I'd a heart to let and no tenant yet

[00:02:03] Did I see in shawl or gown

[00:02:06] But in she went and I asked no rent

[00:02:09] From the Star of the County Down

[00:02:13] From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay

[00:02:16] And from Galway to Dublin town

[00:02:20] No maid I've seen like the sweet colleen

[00:02:23] That I met in the County Down

[00:02:54] At the harvest fair I'll be surely there

[00:02:58] And I'll dress in my Sunday clothes

[00:03:01] With my shoes shone bright and my hat cocked right

[00:03:04] For a smile from my nut-brown Rose

[00:03:08] No pipe I'll smoke and no horse I'll yoke

[00:03:11] Though with rust my plow turns brown

[00:03:15] Till a smiling bride by my own fireside

[00:03:18] Sits the Star of the County Down

[00:03:22] From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay

[00:03:25] And from Galway to Dublin town

[00:03:29] No maid I've seen like the sweet colleen

[00:03:32] That I met in the County Down

[00:03:36] From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay

[00:03:39] And from Galway to Dublin town

[00:03:42] No maid I've seen like the sweet colleen

[00:03:49] That I met in the County Down
