| [00:18.74] | Near Banbridge town, in the County Down |
| [00:23.41] | One morning in July |
| [00:28.14] | Down a boreen green came a sweet colleen |
| [00:32.84] | And she smiled as she passed me by. |
| [00:37.52] | She looked so sweet from her two white feet |
| [00:42.47] | To the sheen of her nut-brown hair |
| [00:47.34] | Such a coaxing elf, I'd to shake myself |
| [00:52.24] | To make sure I was standing there. |
| [00:56.72] | As she onward sped,sure I shook my head |
| [01:01.60] | And I gazed with a feeling rare |
| [01:06.42] | And I said, says I, to a passerby |
| [01:11.35] | Who's the maid with the nut-brown hair? |
| [01:16.42] | He smiled at me, and with pride says he |
| [01:21.30] | That's the gem of Ireland's crown. |
| [01:25.18] | She's young Rosie McCann from the banks of the Bann |
| [01:30.62] | She's the star of the County Down. |
| [01:35.69] | From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay |
| [01:40.22] | And from Galway to Dublin town |
| [01:44.51] | No maid I've seen like the brown colleen |
| [01:49.99] | That I met in the County Down. |
| [01:54.69] | At the harvest fair She'll be surely there |
| [01:59.38] | So I'll dress in my Sunday clothes |
| [02:03.95] | With my hat just right and my shoes shined bright and from my nut-brown rose. |
| [02:13.75] | No pipe I'll smoke, no horse I'll yoke |
| [02:18.83] | Till my plough turns rust coloured brown. |
| [02:23.66] | Till a smiling bride, by my own fireside |
| [02:28.44] | Sits the star of the county down. |
| [02:32.84] | From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay |
| [02:37.78] | And from Galway to Dublin town |
| [02:42.46] | No maid I've seen like the brown colleen |
| [02:47.75] | That I met in the County Down. |
| [02:52.03] | From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay |
| [02:57.20] | And from Galway to Dublin town |
| [03:01.21] | No maid I've seen like the brown colleen |
| [03:05.83] | That I met in the County Down. |
