| [00:02.50] | Near Banbridge town, in the County Down |
| [00:05.52] | One morning last July |
| [00:08.29] | Down a bóithrín green came a sweet colleen |
| [00:10.52] | And she smiled as she passed me by. |
| [00:13.72] | Oh she looked so sweet from her two bare feet |
| [00:15.90] | To the sheen of her nut brown hair. |
| [00:19.10] | Such a coaxing elf, that I pinched myself |
| [00:21.52] | For to see I was standing there. |
| [00:24.58] | And from Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay |
| [00:27.22] | And from Galway to Dublin town |
| [00:30.15] | No maid I've seen like the sweet colleen |
| [00:32.74] | That I met in the county down. |
| [00:38.28] | As she onward sped, well I scratched my head, |
| [00:40.99] | And I looked with a feelin' rare, |
| [00:43.76] | And I say's, say's I, to a passer-by, |
| [00:46.38] | "Who's that maid with the nut-brown hair?" |
| [00:49.10] | Oh he smiled at me and he said, say's he, |
| [00:51.58] | "She's the gem of Ireland's crown. |
| [00:54.65] | Young Rosie McCann from the banks of the Bann, |
| [00:57.34] | She's the star of the county down." |
| [01:00.00] | And from Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay |
| [01:02.52] | And from Galway to Dublin town, |
| [01:05.16] | No maid I've seen like the sweet colleen |
| [01:08.17] | That I met in the county down. |
| [01:13.65] | Well I've travelled a bit, but I've never been hit |
| [01:16.00] | Since my roving career began |
| [01:19.08] | But fair and square I surrendered there |
| [01:21.76] | To the charms of young Rose McCann. |
| [01:24.42] | With a heart to let and no tenant yet |
| [01:27.22] | Did I meet with in shawl or gown |
| [01:30.00] | But in she went and I asked no rent |
| [01:32.66] | From the star of the County Down. |
| [01:35.34] | From the Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay |
| [01:38.23] | And from Galway to Dublin town |
