[00:22.26]	Near banbridge town in the county down
[00:25.16]	One morning last july,
[00:27.67]	From a boreen green came a sweet colleen
[00:30.54]	And she smiled as she passed me by.
[00:33.13]	She looked so sweet from her two bare feet
[00:36.12]	To the sheen of her nut brown hair.
[00:38.52]	Such a coaxing elf, sure I shook myself
[00:40.86]	For to see I was really there.
[00:43.39]
[00:43.91]	From bantry bay up to derry quay and
[00:46.71]	From galway to dublin town,
[00:49.20]	No maid I've seen like the brown colleen
[00:51.64]	That I met in the county down.
[01:05.19]	As she onward sped, sure I scratched my head,
[01:09.37]	And I looked with a feelin' rare,
[01:11.60]	And I say's, say's i, to a passer-by,
[01:13.72]	"whose the maid with the nut brown hair"? “
[01:16.49]	He smiled at me and he says's, say's he,
[01:19.12]	"that's the gem of ireland's crown. “
[01:21.98]	It's rosie mccann from the banks of the bann,
[01:27.44]	She's the star of the county down".
[01:29.11]
[01:29.85]	From bantry bay up to derry ouay and
[01:32.85]	From galway to dublin town,
[01:35.54]	No maid I've seen like the brown colleen
[01:38.16]	That I met in the county down.
[01:53.30]	At the harvest fair she'll be surely there
[01:56.65]	And I'll dress in my sunday clothes,
[01:59.28]	With my shoes shone bright and my hat cocked
[02:02.05]	Right for a smile from my nut brown rose.
[02:04.43]	No pipe I'll smoke, no horse I'll yoke
[02:06.25]	Till my plough turns rust coloured brown.
[02:09.49]	Till a smiling bride, by my own fireside
[02:12.46]	Sits the star of the county down.
[02:14.86]	From bantry bay up to derry ouay and
[02:17.94]	From galway to dublin town,
[02:20.34]	No maid I've seen like the brown colleen
[02:22.95]	That I met in the county down.
[02:25.61]	From bantry bay up to derry ouay and
[02:28.32]	From galway to dublin town,
[02:30.85]	No maid I've seen like the brown colleen
[02:33.55]	That I met in the county down.
[02:36.52]	From bantry bay up to derry ouay and
[02:38.83]	From galway to dublin town,
[02:41.32]	No maid I've seen like the brown colleen
[02:42.46]	That I met in the county down.
