    (Traditional Irish)
    In Banbridge Town near the County Down
    One morning past July,
    On a rolling green came a sweet colleen,
    She smiled as she passed me by.
    She looked so sweet, from her two bare feet
    To her smile and her nut-brown hair.
    Such a coaxing elf, sure I shook myself
    to see I was really there.

    From Bantry Bay down to Derry Quay,
    And from Galway to Dublin Town,
    No maid I've seen like the brown colleen
    That I met in the County Down.

    Onward sped, sure I shook my head,
    And I looked up a feeling rare.
    And I says, says I, to a passer-by,
    "Who's the maid with the nut-brown hair?"
    He smiled at me, and he said, said he,
    "She's the gem of Ireland's crown,
    Rose McCann from the banks of the Bann,
    She's the Star of the County Down."

    Chorus

    INSTRUMENTAL

    At the harvest fair, she'll be there,
    I'll be dressed in my Sunday clothes,
    With my hat cocked right and my shoes shined bright
    and a smile from my nut-brown rose.
    No pipe I'll smoke, no yolk I'll yolk,
    'Til my plough is a rust-colored brown,
    'Til a own dear bride by my own fireside
    is the Star of the County Down.
