Near old Banbridge town, in the County Down
One morning last July
Down a bรณithrรญn 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, I had to check myself
To make sure I was standing there
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay
And from Galway to Dublin town
Not a maid I've seen like the sweet cailรญn
That I met in the County Down
ย
As she homeward sped, so I shook my head
And I gazed with a feeling rare
And I said, says I, to a passer-by
"Who's that maid with the nut-brown hair?"
He smiled at me and replied, says he
"She's the gem of the island's crown
It's 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
Not a maid I've seen like the sweet cailรญn
That I met in the County Down
ย
At the harvest fair, she'll be surely there
And I'll dress in my Sunday clothes
With me hat tucked right and my shoes shone bright
And a smile from my nut-brown rose
No pipe I smoke, nor horse I yoke
'Til my blue water eyes turn brown
'Til smiling bright by my own fireside
Sits the star of the County Down
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay
And from Galway to Dublin town
Not a maid I've seen like the sweet cailรญn
That I met in the County Down
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay
And from Galway to Dublin town
Not a maid I've seen like the sweet cailรญn
That I met in the County Down
