(The Mercier Press, Cork, 1976) COMMENTS: There's a verse I leave out TEXT: e G D Near to Banbridge Town, in the County Down e D One morning in July, E G D Down a boreen green came a sweet colleen, e D e And she smiled as she passed me by; G D G Oh, she looked so neat from her two white feet e D To the sheen of her nut-brown hair, e G D Sure the coaxing elf, I'd to shake myself e D e To make sure I was standing there e G D CHORUS: Oh, from Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay, e D And from Galway to Dublin town, e G D No maid I've seen like the brown colleen e D e That I met in the County Down. As she onward sped I shook my head And I gazed with a feeling quare, And I said, says I, to a passer-by, "Who's the maid with the nut-brown hair?" Oh, he smiled at me, and with pride says he, "That's the gem of Ireland's crown, She's young Rosie McCann from the banks of the Bann, She's the Star of the County Down." I've travelled a bit, but never was hit Since my roving career began; But fair and square I surrendered there To the charms of young 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 asked no rent From the Star of the County Down. At the crossroads fair I'll be surely there And I'll dress in my Sunday clothes And I'll try sheep's eyes, and deludhering lies On the heart of the nut-brown Rose. No pipe I'll smoke, no horse I'll yoke Though with rust my plow turns brown, Till a smiling bride by my own fireside Sits the Star of the County Down. @Irish @love filename[ STARDOWN play.exe STARDOWN RPf ===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Stewball, Stokess Verdict, Stonewall Jacksons Way, Stormalong, Storms Are On The Ocean, Stormy Weather Boys, Story Of Macpherson, Story Of Petey The Snake, Stoutest Man In The Forty Twa, Strange Fruit, Strangers In My Soup, Stratton Mountain Tragedy, Strawberry Roan, Streams Of Lovely Nancy, Streets Of Laredo Cowboys Lament, Streets Of London, Strike The Bell, Strike The Bell Landlord, Strip Polka, Studentsangen, Studentsngen, Stutterer, Su Nombre: Admirable!, Sumer Is Icumen In, Summer Rain, Sun Is Burning In The Sky, Sunday Morning, Sunday School, Sunlight The Shadow And You, Supper Isna Ready, Suriname Native Anthem Text, Susanna Martin, Susie Maclean, Suzanne, Swan Swims Bonnie Two Sisters, Swannanoa Tunnel, Swaziland Anthem Text, Swaziland Native Anthem Text, Sweden Native Anthem Text, Sweeney Todd The Barber, Sweet And Low, Sweet Betsy From Pike, Sweet Cootehill Town, Sweet Joan, Sweet Nancy, Sweet Rose Of Allandale, Sweet Rosie Levinsky, Sweet Song From Yesterday, Sweet Thames Flow Softly, Sweet Thing, Other Unknown song Lyrics 99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall Lyrics A Bird in a Gilded Cage Lyrics A Fenian Song Lyrics A Fool Such As I Lyrics A Friend Like You Lyrics A Hero of the Wrong War Lyrics A Horse Named Bill Lyrics A Hundred Years from Now Lyrics A Kangaroo Sat on an Oak Lyrics A Little Bit of Solitude Lyrics A Living Wage Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Unknown Prophets Lyrics Unleashed Lyrics Unleashed Power Lyrics Unlimited Nation Lyrics Unlimited Sound Lyrics UNLOCO Lyrics Unlord Lyrics UNLV Lyrics Unni Wilhelmsen Lyrics Uno Svenningsson Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
