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] |
