Star Of The County Down

        Em                     G      D         G       Em   D 
Near to Banbridge town, in the County Down, one morning in July 
       Em                  G          D          G             C      D  Em 
Down a boreen green came a sweet colleen and she smiled as she passed me by 
    G                       Am                    G            Em        D 
She looked so neat from her two white feet to the sheen of her nut-brown hair 
         Em                  G        D            Em         C   D    Em 
Sure the coaxing elf, I'd to shake myself, to make sure I was standing there 

     G                Am                  G         Em     D 
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay and from Galway to Dublin town 
    Em                     G          D         Em     C   D  Em 
No maid I've seen like the sweet colleen that I met in County Down 

As she onward sped, sure I shook my head and I gazed with a feeling quare 
And I said, says I to a passer-by, who's the maid with the nut-brown hair? 
He smiled at me and with pride says he, that's the gem of Irelands crown 
She's young Rosie McCann from the banks of the Bann, she's the star of the County Down  

Refrão 

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 lily-white throat, as she lilted an Irish tune 
At the pattern dance you were in trance as she tripped through a jig or reel 
When her eyes she'd roll, she would lift soul as your heart she would likely steal 

Refrão 

At the harvest fair she'll be surely there and I'll dress my Sunday clothes 
With my shoes shon bright and my hat cocked right for a smile from the nut-brown Rose 
No pipe I smoke, no horse I'll yoke, let my plough with the rust turns brown 
Till a smiling bride  by my own fireside sits the star of the County Down 

Refrão
