• Star Of The County Down (ирландская народная)

Close to Banbridge town, in the county Down
One morning last July
Down a boreen green came a sweet colleen
And she smiled as she passed 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 really there.

From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay,
And from Galway to Dublin town,
Na maid I`ve seen like the brown collen,
That I met in the country Down

As she onward sped sure I sratched my head
And I said with a feeling rare,
"Ay", says I to a passer by,
"Who's the maid with the nut-brown hair?"
He smiled at me, and then says he:
"She's the gem of Ireland's crown,
young Rosie McCann, from the banks of the Bann,
she's the Star of the county Down".

At the harvest fair I'll be surely there
And I dress in my Sunday clothes
With my shoes shone bright and my hat upright
And a smile from my nut-brown rose.
No pipe I smoke, no horse I'll yoke
Let me plough with a rust turn brown
Till a smiling bride by my own fireside
Sits the Star of the County Down
