Song Lyrics
From bantry bay down to derry quay, no maid i ve seen like the brown colleen, at the harvest fair
She looked so sweet, and i ll dress in me sunday clothes
Sits the star of the county down, she s the star of the county down.
that i met in the county down
to the sheen of her nut-brown hair
She s the gem of ireland s crown, from bantry bay down to derry quay the, one morning last july
She s the star of the county down., and from galway to dublin town
no maid i ve seen like the brown colleen
And i asked no rent, she s the gem of ireland s crown
That i met in the county down, i ve travelled a bit but was never smit
Down a boreen green came a sweet colleen, for a smile from me nut-brown rose
From bantry bay down to derry quay, and from galway to dublin town
had i met in a shawl or gown
She ll be surely there, as she onward sped Down, from bantry bay down to derry quay
Sure i scratched my head, sits the star of the county down
Who s the maid with the nut-brown hair?, for a smile from me nut-brown rose
that i met in the county down
That i met in the county down, at the harvest fair, and from galway to dublin town
For a smile from me nut-brown rose, from bantry bay down to derry quay
and i asked no rent
No maid i ve seen like the brown colleen, had i met in a shawl or gown
and i asked no rent
He smiled at me, and i asked no rent
she s the gem of ireland s crown
No maid i ve seen like the brown colleen, til my plough is a rust-coloured brown
down a boreen green came a sweet colleen
From bantry bay down to derry quay, she looked so sweet Down, from bantry bay down to derry quay
I surrendered there, that i met in the county down County, from the star of the county down
in banbridge town near the county down
Sits the star of the county down, from bantry bay down to derry quay
That i met in the county down, down a boreen green came a sweet colleen
From the star of the county down, that i met in the county down the, and she smiled as she passed me by
No maid i ve seen like the brown colleen, one morning last july
From bantry bay down to derry quay, from the star of the county down
Had i met in a shawl or gown, she ll be surely there
from bantry bay down to derry quay
From her two bare feet, and from galway to dublin town, but in she went
She looked so sweet, as she onward sped
I ve travelled a bit but was never smit, no maid i ve seen like the brown colleen
I surrendered there, i surrendered there, and i looked with a feeling rare
and i looked with a feeling rare
From her two bare feet, and from galway to dublin town, no maid i ve seen like the brown colleen
To the sheen of her nut-brown hair, sure i shook myself, and from galway to dublin town
sure i shook myself
