letra de the star of the county down - sheoda, margaret brennan

in a banbridge town the the county down
one morning in july
down a boithrin green came a sweet cailin
and she smiled as she p-ssed me by
she looked so neat from her two bare feet
to the sheen of her nut brown hair
such a coaxing elf, i’d to shake myself
to make sure i was standing there
as she onward sped, sure, i shook my head
and i gazed with a feeling rare
and i said, said i, to a p-sserby
“who the maid with the nut brown hair?”
oh, he smiled at me and with pride, says he
“that’s the gem of ireland’s crown.”
“she’s 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 the brown cailin
that i met in the county down
at the harvest faire she’ll be surely there
so i’ll dress in my sunday clothes
with my hat tucked right and my shoes shined bright
and all from my nut-brown rose
no pipe i’ll smoke, no horse i’ll yoke
though my plow with rust turns brown
’til a smiling bride by my own fire side
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 the brown cailin
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 the brown cailin
that i met in the county down
