Near 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 sweet from her two bare feet



To the sheen of her nut-brown hair



Sure the coaxing elf, I'd to shake myself



To be sure I was standing there











As she onward sped, sure I shook my head



And I gazed with a feeling quare



And I says, says I, to a passer-by



Who's the maid with the nut-brown hair



He smiled at me and he says, says he,



That's the gem of Ireland's crown,



Miss 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 like the brown colleen



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 like the brown colleen



That I met in the County Down







She'd a soft brown eye and a look so sly



And a smile like a rose in June



And you hung on each note



from her lilly-white throat



As she lilted an Irish tune



At the pattern dance you were held in a trance



As she kicked through a reel or a jig



And when her eyes she'd roll,



She would lick your soul



A heart she would quickly steal







From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay



And from Galway to Dublin town



No maid I've seen like the sweet Colleen



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 like the sweet Colleen



That I met in the County Down
