lo & the high road - star of the county down lyrics

[verse 1]
near banbridge town in the county down
one morning in last july
down a bóithrín green came a sweet cailín
and she smiled as she passed me by
she looked so neat from her two bare feet
to the sheen of her nut_brown hair
such a coaxing elf, sure i’d shake myself
to make sure i was standing there

[chorus]
from bantry bay up to derry quay
from galway to dublin town
no maid i’ve seen like the fair cailín
that i met in the county down

[verse 2]
as she onward sped, sure i scratched my head
and i looked with a feeling queer
and i said, says i, to a passer_by
“who’s the maid with the nut_brown hair?”
he smiled at me and with pride says he
“that’s the gem of old ireland’s crown
young rosie mccann from the banks of the bann
she’s the star of the county down”
[chorus]
from bantry bay up to derry quay
from galway to dublin town
no maid i’ve seen like the fair cailín
that i met in the county down

[verse 3]
she’d a soft brown eye and a look so sly
and a smile like a rose in june
and you held each note from her auburn throat
as she lilted lamenting tunes
at the pattern dance you’d be in a trance
as she skipped through a jig or a reel
when her eyes she’d roll as she’d lift your soul
and your heart she would likely steal

[chorus]
from bantry bay up to derry quay
from galway to dublin town
no maid i’ve seen like the fair cailín
that i met in the county down

[verse 4]
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 c_cked right
for a smile from the nut_brown rose
no pipe i’ll smoke and no horse i’ll yoke
’til the rust in my plough turns brown
’til my smiling bride by my own fireside
sits the star of the county down
[chorus]
from bantry bay up to derry quay
from galway to dublin town
no maid i’ve seen like the fair cailín
that i met in the county down
from bantry bay up to derry quay
from galway to dublin town
no maid i’ve seen like the fair cailín
that i met in the county down
