STAR OF THE COUNTY DOWN - Van Morrison & The Chieftans In Banbridge Town in the County Down One morning last July, From a boreen green came a sweet colleen 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 coaxing elf, sure I shook myself For to see I was really there. Chorus: From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay and From Galway to Dublin Town, No maid Ive seen like the brown colleen That I met in the County Down. As she onward sped, sure I scratched my head, And I looked with a feelin rare, sponsored links And I says, says I, to a passer-by, Whos the maid with the nut brown hair? He smiled at me and he says, says he, Thats the gem of Irelands crown. Young Rosie McCann from the banks of the Bann, Shes the star of the County Down. Chorus: From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay and From Galway to Dublin Town, No maid Ive seen like the fair colleen That I met in the County Down. At the Harvest Fair shell be surely there And Ill dress in my Sunday clothes, With my shoes shone bright and my hat cocked right For a smile from my nut brown rose. No pipe Ill smoke, no horse Ill yoke Till my plough turns rust coloured brown. Till a smiling bride by my own fireside Sits the star of the County Down. https://youtube/watch?v=1NIQ9KiZm7M
