[00:35.94]Near Banbridge Town in the county down[00:40.12]One morning last July,[00:44.45]Down a bóithrín green came a sweet colleen[00:48.72]And she smiled as she passed me by.[00:53.05]From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay and[00:58.21]From Galway to Dublin Town,[01:02.14]No maid I've seen like the brown colleen[01:06.60]That I met in the county down.[01:28.69]She looked so sweet from her two bare feet[01:33.07]To the sheen of her nut brown hair.[01:37.34]Such a coaxing elf, sure I shook myself[01:41.77]For to see I was really there.[01:46.22]From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay and[01:50.96]From Galway to Dublin Town,[01:55.09]No maid I've seen like the brown colleen[01:59.32]That I met in the county down.[02:21.68]As she onward sped, sure I scratched my head,[02:25.83]And I looked with a feelin' rare,[02:29.63]And I say's, say's i, to a passer-by,[02:34.73]"whose the maid with the nut brown hair"? “[02:39.02]He smiled at me and he says's, say's he,[02:43.54]"she's the gem of Ireland's crown. “[02:47.84]Young rosie mccann from the banks of the bann,[02:51.85]She's the star of the county down".[03:48.21]At the harvest fair she'll be surely there[03:52.82]So I'll wear in my Sunday clothes,[03:57.37]With my shoes shone bright and my hat cocked[04:01.45]Right for a smile from my nut brown rose.[04:06.03]No pipe I'll smoke, no horse I'll yoke[04:10.02]Till my plough will rust coloured brown.[04:14.55]For a smiling bride, by my own fireside[04:18.82]Sits the star of the county down.[04:23.40]From Bantry bay up to Derry Quay and[04:28.02]From Galway to Dublin Town,[04:32.24]No maid I've seen like the brown colleen[04:36.41]That I met in the county down.[04:40.76]From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay and[04:45.30]From Galway to Dublin Town,[04:49.58]No maid I've seen like the brown colleen[04:57.01]That I met in the county down.[05:08.10]
