In the Banbridge Town in the County Down
One morning last July
Down a boreen green came a sweet colleen
And she smiled as she passed me by
Sure she looked so sweet from her two bare feet
To the sheen of her nut brown hair
Such a coaxing elf, I had to shake myself
To make sure I was really there
From Bantry Bay down to Derry Quay and
From Galway to Dublin Town
No maid I've seen like the sweet colleen
That I met in the County Down
As she onward sped, sure I shook my head
And I gazed with a feelin' rare
And I say's, say's I, to a passer-by
"Whose the maid with the nut brown hair"?
He smiled at me and he says, say's he
"That's the gem of Ireland's crown
Young Rosie McCann from the banks of the Bann
She's the star of the County Down"
From Bantry Bay down to Derry Quay and
From Galway to Dublin Town
No maid I've seen like the sweet colleen
That I met in the County Down
At the Harvest Fair she'll be surely there
So I dress in my Sunday clothes
With my shoes shone bright and my hat cocked
Right for a smile from my nut brown rose
No pipe I'll smoke, no horse I'll yoke
Till my plough turns rust colored brown
Till my smiling bride, by my own fireside
Sits the star of the County Down
From Bantry Bay down to Derry Quay and
From Galway to Dublin Town
No maid I've seen like the sweet colleen
That I met in the County Down
From Bantry Bay down to Derry Quay and
From Galway to Dublin Town
No maid I've seen like the sweet colleen
That I met in the County Down
