In Bunburry Stone in the County Down
One morning last July
From a boreen green came a sweet cailรญn
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, should I shock myself
For to see I was really there?
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay
And from Galway to Dublin Town
No maid I've seen like the brown cailรญn
That I met in the County Down
As she always does she'll scratch my head
And she'll look with a feeling rare
And she'll say, says I to a passer-by
"Who's the maid with the nut-brown hair?"
He smiled at me and he say, says he
"That's the gem of the highland scion
Young 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 brown cailรญn
That I met in the County Down
At the harvest fair she'll be surely there
And I'll dress in my Sunday clothes
With 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
'Til my plough is ash color brown
'Til I'm smilin' bright by my own fireside
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 brown cailรญn
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 brown cailรญn
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 brown cailรญn
That I met in the County Down
