[00:00:00] The Star Of The County Down - John McCormack (麦考梅克)

[00:00:03] Written by：Cathal MacGarvey/Traditional English/Herbert Hughes

[00:00:05] Near banbridge town

[00:00:07] In the county down

[00:00:08] One evening last July

[00:00:11] Down a boithrin green came a sweet cailin

[00:00:14] And she smiled as she passed me by

[00:00:17] She looked so neat in her two bare feet

[00:00:20] To the sheen of her nut brown hair

[00:00:22] Such a coaxing elf

[00:00:24] I'd to shake myself

[00:00:25] To make sure I was standing there

[00:00:28] From bantry bay down to Derry quay

[00:00:31] From galway to Dublin town

[00:00:33] No maid I've seen like the fair cailin

[00:00:36] That I met in the county down

[00:00:44] As she onward sped I shook my head

[00:00:46] And I gazed with a feeling queer

[00:00:49] And I said says I to a passerby

[00:00:51] Who's your one with the nut brown hair

[00:00:54] He smiled at me and with pride says he

[00:00:57] She's the gem of old Ireland's crown

[00:01:00] Young rosie mccann from

[00:01:01] The banks of the bann

[00:01:02] And the star of the county down

[00:01:05] From bantry bay down to Derry quay

[00:01:08] From galway to Dublin town

[00:01:10] No maid I've seen like the fair cailin

[00:01:12] That I met in the county down

[00:01:20] At the harvest fair she'll be surely there

[00:01:23] And I'll dress my Sunday clothes

[00:01:26] With my hat cocked right

[00:01:28] And my shoes shon bright

[00:01:29] For a smile from the nut brown rose

[00:01:32] No horse I'll yoke or pipe I smoke

[00:01:35] Til the rust in my plough turn brown

[00:01:38] And a smiling bride by my own fireside

[00:01:41] Sits the star of the county down

[00:01:44] From bantry bay down to Derry quay

[00:01:46] From galway to Dublin town

[00:01:49] No maid I've seen like the fair cailin

[00:01:53] That I met in the county down
