Poxy Boggards - Star Of The County Down lyrics

The Star Of The County Down Near Banbridge Town in the County Down, one morning last July Down the boreen green came a sweet colleen and she smiled as she pa**ed me by Oh she looked so neat from her two bare feet to the sheen of her nut brown hair Such a coaxing elf I shook meself to be sure I was standin' there --Chorus-- From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay and from Galway to Dublin town No maid I've seen like the brown colleen that I met in the County Down As she onward sped I shook me head, and I gazed with a feelin' quare And I says, says I, to a pa**erby, "Who's the maid with the nut brown hair?" Oh he smiled at me, and with pride says he, "That's the gem of ol' Ireland's crown, She's young Rosie McCann from the banks of the Ban, she's the star of the County Down" --Chorus-- From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay and from Galway to Dublin Town No maid I've seen like the brown colleen that I met in the County Down Well I've traveled a bit, but was never hit since me rovin' career began But fair and square I surrendered there to the charms of a Rose McCann I'd a heart to let and no tenant yet, did I meet with in shawl or gown But in she went and I'll ask no rent from the star of the County Down --Chorus-- From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay and from Galway to Dublin Town No maid I've seen like the brown colleen that I met in the County Down At the crossroads fair she'll be surely there and I'll dress in me Sunday clothes With me shoe shone bright and me hat co*ked right for a smile from a nut brown Rose No pipe I'll smoke, no horse I'll yolk, till my plow with the rust turns brown And my smilin' bride by my fireside sits the star of the County Down --Chorus-- From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay and from Galway to Dublin Town No maid I've seen like the brown colleen that I met in the County Down --Chorus-- From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay and from Galway to Dublin Town No maid I've seen like the brown colleen that I met in the County Down
