Star of the County Down - Live

In the Banbridge Town in the County Down
 One morning last July
 From a boreen green came a sweet colleen
 And she smiled as she passed me by
 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 up 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 up 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 up 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 up 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
