[ti:The Star of the County Down] [ar:John McCormack] [al:The Very Best of John McCormack] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.73]The Star Of The County Down - John McCormack (麦考梅克) [00:04.19] [00:05.89]Near Banbridge town, [00:07.37]in the County Down [00:08.72]One evening last July [00:11.49]Down a boithrin green came a sweet cailin [00:14.33]And she smiled as she passed me by. [00:17.36]She looked so neat in her two bare feet [00:20.35]To the sheen of her nut-brown hair [00:22.72]Such a coaxing elf, [00:24.05]I'd to shake myself [00:25.42]To make sure I was standing there. [00:28.30]From Bantry Bay down to Derry Quay [00:30.89]From Galway to Dublin town [00:33.42]No maid I've seen like the fair cailin [00:36.10]That I met in the County Down. [00:39.34] [00:43.83]As she onward sped I shook my head [00:46.41]And I gazed with a feeling queer [00:49.05]And I said, says I, to a passerby [00:51.53]"Who's your one with the nut-brown hair?" [00:54.12]He smiled at me, and with pride says he, [00:56.80]"She's the gem of old Ireland's crown. [00:59.47]Young Rosie McCann from [01:00.96]the banks of the Bann [01:02.13]And the star of the County Down." [01:04.86]From Bantry Bay down to Derry Quay [01:07.34]From Galway to Dublin town [01:09.85]No maid I've seen like the fair cailin [01:12.42]That I met in the County Down. [01:15.53] [01:20.22]At the harvest fair she'll be surely there [01:23.21]and I'll dress my Sunday clothes [01:26.10]With my hat cocked right [01:27.73]and my shoes shon bright [01:29.09]for a smile from the nut-brown Rose [01:31.94]No horse I'll yoke, or pipe I smoke, [01:34.66]'til the rust in my plough turn brown [01:37.53]And a smiling bride by my own fireside [01:40.17]sits the star of the County Down [01:43.07]From Bantry Bay down to Derry Quay [01:45.06]From Galway to Dublin town [01:46.59]No maid I've seen like the fair cailin [01:50.98]That I met in the County Down.
