Near Banbridge Town in the County Down
One morning last July
Down a bóithrín green came a sweet cailín
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 winsome elf, I'm ashamed of myself
For to see I was staring there
From Bantry Bay up to Derry's Quay
From Galway to Dublin Town
No maid I've seen like the fair cailín
That I met in the County Down
As she onward sped, sure I scratched me head
And I looked with a feelin' rare
And I says, says I, to a passer-by
"Who's the maid with the nut-brown hair"?
Well, he looked at me and he said to me
"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's Quay
From Galway to Dublin Town
No maid I've seen like the fair cailín
That I met in the County Down
She'd soft brown eyes with a look so shy
And a smile like the rose in June
And she sang so sweet what a lovely treat
As she lilted an Irish tune
At the Lammas dance I was in the trance
As she whirled with the lads of the town
And it broke me heart just to be apart
From the star of the County Down
From Bantry Bay up to Derry's Quay
From Galway to Dublin Town
No maid I've seen like the fair cailín
That I met in the County Down
At the Harvest Fair, she'll be surely there
So I'll dress in me Sunday clothes
With me shoes shone bright and me hat cocked right
For a smile from the nut brown rose
No pipe I'll smoke, no horse I'll yoke
'Til me plough is a rust-colored brown
And a smiling bride by me own fireside
Sits the star of the County Down
From Bantry Bay up to Derry's Quay
From Galway to Dublin Town
No maid I've seen like the fair cailín
That I met in the County Down
From Bantry Bay up to Derry's Quay
From Galway to Dublin Town
No maid I've seen like the fair cailín
That I met in the County Down
One morning last July
Down a bóithrín green came a sweet cailín
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 winsome elf, I'm ashamed of myself
For to see I was staring there
From Bantry Bay up to Derry's Quay
From Galway to Dublin Town
No maid I've seen like the fair cailín
That I met in the County Down
As she onward sped, sure I scratched me head
And I looked with a feelin' rare
And I says, says I, to a passer-by
