Star of The County Down - Sheoda
Lyrics by：Trad.brett
Composed by：Trad.brett
Near to Banbridge town in the County Down
On a morning in July
Down a boreen green came a sweet colleen
And she smiled as she passed me by
She looked so neat from her two white feet
To the sheen of her nut-brown hair
Such a coaxin' elf I'd to shake myself
To make sure I was standing there
As she onward sped sure I shook my head
And I gazed with a feelin' quare
And I said said I to a passer by
Who's the maid with the nut-brown hair
Oh he smiled at me and with pride says he
That's the gem of Ireland's crown
She's young Rosie McCann from the banks of the Bann
She's the star of the County Down
From Bantry Bay up 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
At the Harvest Fair she'll be surely there
So I'll dress in my Sunday clothes
With my hat tucked right and my shoes shined bright
And all from my nut-brown Rose
No pipe I'll smoke no horse I'll yoke
Tho' my plough with rust turns brown
Till a smiling bride by my own fireside
Sits the star of the County Down
From Bantry Bay up 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
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay
From Galway to Dublin town
No maid I've seen like the brown colleen
That I met in the County Down
