歌詞
[Verse 1]
Near a Banbridge town in the county down
One morning last July
From a bóithrín green came a sweet cailín
And she smiled as she passed me by
[Verse 2]
She looked so sweet from her two bare feet
To the sheen of her nut-brown hair
Such a coaxin' elf, sure as shook myself
For to see I was really there
[Verse 3]
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay
And from Galway to Dublin Town
No maid I've seen like the brown cailín
That I met in the County Down
[Verse 4]
As she onward sped, sure I scratched my head
And I looked with a feelin' rare
And I said says I to a passer by
"Who's the maid with the nut-brown hair?"
[Verse 5]
He smiled at me and he said says he
"That's a gem of Ireland's crown"
Young Rosie McCann from the banks of the Bann
She's the star of the County Down
[Verse 6]
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay
And from Galway to Dublin Town
No maid I've seen like the fair cailín
That I met at the County Down
[Verse 7]
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 a nut brown rose
[Verse 8]
No pipe I'll smoke, no horse I'll yoke
Till my plough is rust-colored brown
Till my smilin' bride, by my own fireside
Sits the star of the County Down
[Verse 9]
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay
And from Galway to Dublin Town
No maid I've seen like the brown cailín
That I met at the County Down
[Verse 10]
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay
And from Galway to Dublin Town
No maid I've seen like the brown cailín
That I met at the County Down
[Verse 11]
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay
And from Galway to Dublin Town
No maid I've seen like the brown cailín
That I met in the County Down
