[al:On And On]
[00:05.92]Near banbridge town in the county down
[00:08.41]One morning last july,
[00:11.00]From a boreen green came a sweet colleen
[00:13.88]And she smiled as she passed me by.
[00:16.28]She looked so sweet from her two bare feet
[00:19.10]To the sheen of her nut brown hair.
[00:21.40]Such a coaxing elf, sure I shook myself
[00:23.66]For to see I was really there.
[00:26.44]
[00:26.80]From bantry bay up to derry quay and
[00:29.58]From galway to dublin town,
[00:31.82]No maid I've seen like the brown colleen
[00:34.59]That I met in the county down.
[00:58.13]As she onward sped, sure I scratched my head,
[01:00.92]And I looked with a feelin' rare,
[01:03.37]And I say's, say's i, to a passer-by,
[01:05.95]"whose the maid with the nut brown hair"? “
[01:08.44]He smiled at me and he says's, say's he,
[01:11.17]"that's the gem of ireland's crown. “
[01:13.74]It's rosie mccann from the banks of the bann,
[01:16.33]She's the star of the county down".
[01:18.37]
[01:18.76]From bantry bay up to derry ouay and
[01:21.82]From galway to dublin town,
[01:24.16]No maid I've seen like the brown colleen
[01:26.83]That I met in the county down.
[01:39.97]At the harvest fair she'll be surely there
[01:42.57]And I'll dress in my sunday clothes,
[01:45.00]With my shoes shone bright and my hat cocked
[01:47.61]Right for a smile from my nut brown rose.
[01:50.30]No pipe I'll smoke, no horse I'll yoke
[01:52.52]Till my plough turns rust coloured brown.
[01:55.40]Till a smiling bride, by my own fireside
[01:58.19]Sits the star of the county down.
[02:00.58]From bantry bay up to derry ouay and
[02:03.49]From galway to dublin town,
[02:05.90]No maid I've seen like the brown colleen
[02:08.59]That I met in the county down.
[02:32.62]From bantry bay up to derry ouay and
[02:35.03]From galway to dublin town,
[02:37.38]No maid I've seen like the brown colleen
[02:40.07]That I met in the county down.
[02:43.21]From bantry bay up to derry ouay and
[02:45.39]From galway to dublin town,
[02:47.69]No maid I've seen like the brown colleen
[02:50.57]That I met in the county down.
