Irish traditional song lyrics \u2014 collected by Beer Belly Band.<\/em><\/p>\n

Near Banbridge town, in the County Down
\nOne morning in July
\nDown the boreen came a sweet colleen
\nAnd she smiled as she passed me by
\nOh, she looked so neat from her two bare feet
\nTo the crown of her nut-brown hair
\nSuch a winsome elf, that I pinched myself
\nTo be sure I was really there<\/p>\n

Chorus:
\nFrom Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay
\nAnd from Galway to Dublin town
\nNo maid I’ve seen like the sweet colleen
\nThat I met in the County Down<\/p>\n

As she onward sped I shook my head
\nAnd I gazed with a feeling rare
\nAnd I said, says I, to a passer-by
\n“Who’s the maid with the nut-brown hair?”
\nOh, he smiled at me, and with pride says he
\n“That’s the gem of all Ireland’s crown
\nYoung Rosie McCann from the banks of the Bann
\nShe’s the Star of the County Down”<\/p>\n

Chorus<\/p>\n

At the harvest fair she’ll be surely there
\nAnd I’ll dress in my Sunday clothes
\nWith my shoes shined bright and my hat just right
\nWin the heart of the nut-brown Rose
\nNo pipe I’ll smoke, no horse I’ll yoke
\nAnd my plow will rust and brown
\n‘Til a smiling bride by my own fireside
\nSits the Star of the County Down<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
