Star of the County Down
Near Banbridge town, in the County Down
One mornin last July
Down a bóithrín green came a sweet cailín
And she smiled as she passed me by.
Oh she looked so sweet from her two bare feet
To the sheen of her nut-brown hair
Such a coaxin elf, that I'd pinched myself
For to see I was standin there.
From Bantry Bay to the Derry Quay
And from Galway to Dublin town
No maid I've seen like the sweet cailín
That I met in the County Down.
As she onward sped while I scratch my head
And I looked with a feelin rare
And I said, says I, to a passerby
"Who's the maid with the nut-brown hair?"
And he smiled at me, and said says he,
"She's the gem of Ireland's crown.
She's young Rosie McCann from the banks of the Bann
She's the star of the County Down."
From Bantry Bay to the Derry Quay
And from Galway to Dublin town
No maid I've seen like the sweet cailín
That I met in the County Down.
Well I've travelled a bit, but never been hit
Since my rovin career began
But fair and square I surrendered there
To the charms of Rose McCann.
With a heart to let and no tenant yet
Did I meet where it all began
But in she went and I asked no rent
From the star of the County Down.
From Bantry Bay to the Derry Quay
And from Galway to Dublin town
No maid I've seen like the sweet cailín
That I met in the County Down.
