[00:00:00] The Star Of County Down (Live) - Finbar Wright

[00:00:02] Written by：Cathal McGarvey

[00:00:13] Near Banbridge Town in the County Down

[00:00:17] One morning last July

[00:00:20] Down a boreen green came a sweet colleen

[00:00:22] And she smiled as she passed me by

[00:00:25] She looks on me from her two white feet

[00:00:28] To the sheen of her nut brown hair

[00:00:31] Such a coaxing elf

[00:00:33] I'm ashamed of myself

[00:00:34] To make sure I was really there

[00:00:37] From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay

[00:00:41] And from Galway to Dublin Town

[00:00:44] No maid I've seen like the sweet Colleen

[00:00:47] That I met in the County Down

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

[00:01:00] And I gazed with a feeling queer

[00:01:03] Till I said says I to a passerby

[00:01:06] Who's the maid with the nutbrown hair

[00:01:09] He smiled at me and with pride says he

[00:01:12] That's the gem of Ireland's crown

[00:01:15] Young Rosie McCann from the banks of the Bann

[00:01:18] She's the Star of the County Down

[00:01:21] From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay

[00:01:24] And from Galway to Dublin Town

[00:01:27] No maid I've seen like the sweet Colleen

[00:01:30] That I met in the County Down

[00:01:41] At the harvest fair she'll be surely there

[00:01:44] So I dress in my Sunday clothes

[00:01:47] With my shoes shone bright and my hat cocked right

[00:01:50] From a smile from the nutbrown Rose

[00:01:53] No pipe I'll smoke no horse I'll yoke

[00:01:57] Till my plough is a rust colored brown

[00:02:00] Till a smiling bride by my own fireside

[00:02:03] Is the Star of the County Down

[00:02:06] From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay

[00:02:09] And from Galway to Dublin Town

[00:02:12] No maid I've seen like the sweet Colleen

[00:02:15] That I met in the County Down

[00:02:18] From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay

[00:02:21] And from Galway to Dublin Town

[00:02:26] No maid I've seen like the sweet Colleen

[00:02:32] That I met in the County Down
