Star Of County Down (Live) 歌詞
Star Of County Down (Live) - The High Kings
Near Banbridge town in the county down
One evening last July
Down a bóithrín green came a sweet cailín
And she smiled as she passed me by
She looked so neat in her two bare feet
To the sheen of her nut brown hair
Such a coaxing elf I'd to shake myself
To make sure I was standing there
From Bantry Bay down to Derry Quay
From Galway to Dublin town
No maid I've seen like the fair cailín
That I met in the county down
As she onward sped I shook my head
And I gazed with a feeling queer
And I said says I to a passerby
Who's your one with the nut brown hair
He smiled at me and with pride says he
She's the gem of old Ireland's crown
Young Rosie McCann from the banks of the Bann
And the star of the county down
From Bantry Bay down to Derry Quay
From Galway to Dublin town
No maid I've seen like the fair cailín
That I met in the county down
She'd a soft brown eye and
A look so sly and a smile like the 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 trance
As she skipped through a jig or reel
When her eyes she'd roll as she'd lift soul
And your heart she would likely steal
From Bantry Bay down to Derry Quay
From Galway to Dublin town
No maid I've seen like the fair cailín
That I met in the county down
At the harvest fair she'll be surely there
And I'll dress my Sunday clothes
With my hat cocked right
And my shoes shon bright
For a smile from the nut brown rose
No horse I'll yoke or pipe I smoke
'Til the rust in my plough turn brown
And a smiling bride by my own fireside
Sits the star of the county down
From Bantry Bay down to Derry Quay
From Galway to Dublin town
No maid I've seen like the fair cailín
That I met in the county down
She'd a soft brown eye and
A look so sly and a smile like the 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 trance
As she skipped through a jig or reel
When her eyes she'd roll as she'd lift soul
And your heart she would likely steal
From Bantry Bay down to Derry Quay
From Galway to Dublin town
No maid I've seen like the fair cailín
That I met in the county down
Near Banbridge town in the county down
One evening last July
Down a bóithrín green came a sweet cailín
And she smiled as she passed me by
She looked so neat in her two bare feet
To the sheen of her nut brown hair
Such a coaxing elf I'd to shake myself
To make sure I was standing there
From Bantry Bay down 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 down 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 down to Derry Quay
From Galway to Dublin town
No maid I've seen like the fair cailín
That I met in the county down
