Close to Banbridge town, in the county DownOne morning last JulyDown a boreen green came a sweet colleenAnd she smiled as she passed me by; She looked so neat from 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 really there.From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay,And from Galway to Dublin town,Na maid I`ve seen like the brown collen,That I met in the country DownAs sho onward sped sure I sratched my headAnd I said with a feeling rare,Ay", says I to a passer by,Who`s the maid with the nut-brown hair?"He smiled at me, and then says he:She`s the gem of Ireland`s crown,young Rosie McCann, from the banks of the Bann,she`s the Star of the county Down".From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay,And from Galway to Dublin town,Na maid I've seen like the brown collen,Letras de cancionesThat I met in the county DownAt the harvest fair I`ll be surely thereAnd I dress in my Sunday clothesWith my shoes shone bright and my hat uprightAnd a smile from my nut-brown rose.No pipe I smoke, no horse I`ll yokeLet me plough with a rust turn brownTill a smiling bride by my own firesideSits the Star of the County DownFrom Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay,And from Galway to Dublin town,Na maid I`ve seen like the brown colleen,That I met in the county DownFrom Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay,And from Galway to Dublin town,No maid I`ve seen like the brown colleen,That I met in the county Down From Letras Mania
