THE STAR OF THE COUNTY DOWN | |
---|---|
Near Banbridge Town in the County Down, one morning last July, Down a boreen green, came a sweet colleen, And she smiled as she passed me by. She looked so sweet in her two bare feet, To the sheen of her nut brown hair. Such a coaxing elf, sure I shook meself, For to see was I really there. From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay, And from Galway to Dublin Town, No maid I've seen like the sweet colleen, That I met in the County Down. |
