Star Of The County Down

Deze zijn we aan het instuderen op de CF trekharmonica. Leuk nummer. 

Near Banbridge town in the County Down
One evening last July
Down a bóithrín green came a sweet cailín
And she smiled as she passed me by

She looked so neat in her two bare feet
And the sheen of her nut-brown hair
Such a coaxing elf, I'd to shake myself
To make sure I was standing there

From Bantry Bay down to Derry Quay
From Galway to Dublin town
No maid I've seen like the fair cailín
That I met in the County Down

As she onward sped, and I shook me head
And I gazed with a feeling queer
And I said, says I, to a passerby
"Who's your one with the nut-brown hair?"

He smiled at me, and with pride says he
"She's the gem of old Ireland's crown
Young Rosie McCann from the banks of the Bann
And the star of the County Down"

From Bantry Bay down to Derry Quay
From Galway to Dublin town
No maid I've seen like the fair cailín

That I met in the County Down
