Star of the County Down (Live)
Near Banbridge Town in the County Down One morning in July
Down a boreen green came a sweet Colleen and she smiled as she passed me by
Oh she looked so sweet from her two white feet to the sheen of her nut-brown hair
Sure the coaxing elf, I'd to shake myself to make sure I was standing there
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay and from Galway to Dublin town
No maid I've seen like the sweet Colleen that I met in the County Down
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay and from Galway to Dublin town
No maid I've seen like the sweet Colleen that I met in the County Down
I've travelled a bit but never was hit 'till my roving career began
But fair and square I surrendered there to the charm of Rose McCann
With a heart to let and no tenant yet did I meet within shawl or gown
But in she went and I asked no rent from the star of a County Down
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay and from Galway to Dublin town
No maid I've seen like the sweet Colleen that I met in the County Down
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay and from Galway to Dublin town
No maid I've seen like the sweet Colleen that I met in the County Down, alright Emma
At the Harvest Fair I'll be surely there and I'll dress in my Sunday clothes
And I'll try sheep's eyes and deludhering lies on the heart of the nut-brown Rose
No pipe I'll smoke, no horse I'll yoke tough my plough with rust turns brown
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay and from Galway to Dublin town
No maid I've seen like the sweet Colleen that I met in the County Down
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay and from Galway to Dublin town
No maid I've seen like the sweet Colleen that I met in the County Down
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay and from Galway to Dublin town
No maid I've seen like the sweet Colleen
That I met in the County Down
Down a boreen green came a sweet Colleen and she smiled as she passed me by
Oh she looked so sweet from her two white feet to the sheen of her nut-brown hair
Sure the coaxing elf, I'd to shake myself to make sure I was standing there
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay and from Galway to Dublin town
No maid I've seen like the sweet Colleen that I met in the County Down
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay and from Galway to Dublin town
No maid I've seen like the sweet Colleen that I met in the County Down
I've travelled a bit but never was hit 'till my roving career began
But fair and square I surrendered there to the charm of Rose McCann
With a heart to let and no tenant yet did I meet within shawl or gown
But in she went and I asked no rent from the star of a County Down
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay and from Galway to Dublin town
No maid I've seen like the sweet Colleen that I met in the County Down
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay and from Galway to Dublin town
No maid I've seen like the sweet Colleen that I met in the County Down, alright Emma
At the Harvest Fair I'll be surely there and I'll dress in my Sunday clothes
And I'll try sheep's eyes and deludhering lies on the heart of the nut-brown Rose
No pipe I'll smoke, no horse I'll yoke tough my plough with rust turns brown
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay and from Galway to Dublin town
No maid I've seen like the sweet Colleen that I met in the County Down
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay and from Galway to Dublin town
No maid I've seen like the sweet Colleen that I met in the County Down
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay and from Galway to Dublin town
No maid I've seen like the sweet Colleen
That I met in the County Down
