Lyrics
Near banbridge town in the county down One morning last july From the wild boreen 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, 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 said i, says i, to a passer-by "Who's the maid with the nut-brown hair?" He smiled at me and with pride said he "She'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 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
She'd a soft brown eye and a look so sly And a smile like a rose in june And you crave each note From her lily-white throat As she lilted an irish tune But at the pattern dance you beheld in trance As she kicked through a jig or reel When her eyes she'd roll She would lick your soul And your 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
