Near Banbridge Town in the County Down One morning last July 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 From Bantry Bay down 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, sure I scratched my head And I looked with a feelin' rare And I says, says I, to a passer-by "Whose the maid with the nut brown hair?" He smiled at me and he says's, says's he "That's the gem of Ireland's crown Young Rosie McCann from the banks of a Bann She's the star of the County Down" From Bantry Bay down 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 Harvest Fair she'll be surely there I'll dress in my Sunday clothes My shoes shone bright and my hat cocked Right for a smile from my nut brown rose No pipe I'll smoke, no horse I'll yoke Till my plough turns rust colored brown Till a smiling bride, by my own fireside Sits the star of the County Down From Bantry Bay down 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 down 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 © BMG MUSIC PUBLISHING LTD; Bu döküman AkorMerkezi.com'da yayınlanmıştır. http://www.akormerkezi.com
