[00:00.00]The Star of the County Down - Loreena McKennitt
[00:28.82]Banbridge Town in the County Down
[00:31.76]One morning last July
[00:34.79]From a boreen green came a sweet colleen
[00:37.85]And she smiled as she passed me by
[00:40.99]She looked so sweet from her two bare feet
[00:44.18]To the sheen of her nut brown hair
[00:47.30]Such a coaxing elf sure I shook myself
[00:50.40]For to see I was really there
[00:53.59]From Bantry Bay into Derry Quay
[00:56.72]From Galway to Dublin Town
[00:59.84]No maid I've seen like the fair colleen
[01:02.89]That I met in the County Down
[01:14.28]As she onward sped sure I scratched my head
[01:17.23]And I looked with a feelin' rare
[01:20.48]And I says says I to a passer-by
[01:23.49]"Who's the maid with the nut brown hair
[01:26.54]He smiled at me and he says says he
[01:29.72]"That's the gem of Ireland's crown
[01:32.78]Young Rosie McCann from the banks of the Bann
[01:35.88]She's the star of the County Down"
[01:39.00]From Bantry Bay into Derry Quay
[01:42.15]From Galway to Dublin Town
[01:45.22]No maid I've seen like the fair colleen
[01:48.38]That I met in the County Down
[02:18.19]The Harvest Fair she'll be surely there
[02:21.35]And I'll dress in my Sunday clothes
[02:24.53]With my shoes shone bright and my hat cocked right
[02:27.74]For a smile from my nut brown rose
[02:30.77]No pipe I'll smoke no horse I'll yoke
[02:33.89]Till my plough turns rust coloured brown
[02:37.02]Till my smiling bride by my own fireside
[02:40.17]Sits the star of the County Down
[02:43.29]From Bantry Bay into Derry Quay
[02:46.48]From Galway to Dublin Town
[02:49.63]No maid I've seen like the fair colleen
[02:52.71]That I met in the County Down
[02:55.90]From Bantry Bay into Derry Quay
[02:59.05]From Galway to Dublin Town
[03:02.21]No maid I've seen like the fair colleen
[03:05.45]That I met in the County Down
