Lyrics

[00:12.64] Near banbridge town in the county down
[00:15.74] One morning last july,
[00:18.26] Down a bóithrín green came a sweet cailín
[00:21.89] And she smiled as she passed me by.
[00:24.72] She looked so sweet from her two bare feet
[00:28.37] To the sheen of her nut brown hair.
[00:30.97] Such a coaxing elf, sure I shook myself
[00:34.53] For to see I was really there.
[00:37.29] From bantry bay up to derry quay and
[00:40.95] From galway to dublin town,
[00:43.53] No maid I've seen like the brown colleen
[00:47.01] That I met in the county down.
[00:49.91] As she onward sped, sure I scratched my head,
[00:53.46] And I looked with a feelin' rare,
[00:56.15] And I say's, say's i, to a passer-by,
[00:59.67] "whose the maid with the nut brown hair"? “
[01:02.43] He smiled at me and he says's, say's he,
[01:06.32] "that's the gem of ireland's crown. “
[01:08.92] She's rosie mccann from the banks of the bann,
[01:12.35] She's the star of the county down".
[01:15.30] From bantry bay up to derry quay and
[01:18.62] From galway to dublin town,
[01:21.07] No maid I've seen like the brown colleen
[01:24.92] That I met in the county down.
[01:28.42] ...
[01:40.57] At the harvest fair she'll be surely there
[01:44.10] And I'll dress in my sunday clothes,
[01:46.95] Right for a smile from my nut brown rose.
[01:53.32] No pipe I'll smoke, no horse I'll yoke
[01:56.80] Till my plough turns rust coloured brown.
[01:59.70] Till a smiling bride, by my own fireside
[02:03.03] Sits the star of the county down.
[02:05.85] From bantry bay up to derry ouay and
[02:09.29] From galway to dublin town,
[02:12.16] No maid I've seen like the brown colleen
[02:15.60] That I met in the county down.
[02:18.36] From bantry bay up to derry quay and
[02:22.27] From galway to dublin town,
[02:24.69] No maid I've seen like the brown colleen
[02:33.20] That I met in the county down.
[02:32.16] ...
