Star of the County Down

Near Banbridge Town in the county down one morning last July

Down a boarding green came a sweet colleen and she smiled as she passed me by.

She looked so sweet in her two bare feet, to the fringe of her nut-brown hair,

Young Rosee McCann from the banks of the Bann; she's the star of the County down.

Refrain: From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay, from Galway to Dublin town, No maid I have seen like the fairy colleen that I met in the county down.
