《The Star Of The County Down》歌词

[00:00:00] The Star Of The County Down (邓恩郡之星) - John McCormack (麦考梅克)

[00:00:05] Near Banbridge town,

[00:00:07] in the County Down

[00:00:08] One evening last July

[00:00:11] Down a boithrin green came a sweet cailin

[00:00:14] And she smiled as she passed me by.

[00:00:17] She looked so neat in her two bare feet

[00:00:20] To the sheen of her nut-brown hair

[00:00:22] Such a coaxing elf,

[00:00:24] I'd to shake myself

[00:00:25] To make sure I was standing there.

[00:00:28] From Bantry Bay down to Derry Quay

[00:00:30] From Galway to Dublin town

[00:00:33] No maid I've seen like the fair cailin

[00:00:36] That I met in the County Down.

[00:00:43] As she onward sped I shook my head

[00:00:46] And I gazed with a feeling queer

[00:00:49] And I said, says I, to a passerby

[00:00:51] "Who's your one with the nut-brown hair?"

[00:00:54] He smiled at me, and with pride says he,

[00:00:56] "She's the gem of old Ireland's crown.

[00:00:59] Young Rosie McCann from

[00:01:00] the banks of the Bann

[00:01:02] And the star of the County Down."

[00:01:04] From Bantry Bay down to Derry Quay

[00:01:07] From Galway to Dublin town

[00:01:09] No maid I've seen like the fair cailin

[00:01:12] That I met in the County Down.

[00:01:20] At the harvest fair she'll be surely there

[00:01:23] and I'll dress my Sunday clothes

[00:01:26] With my hat cocked right

[00:01:27] and my shoes shon bright

[00:01:29] for a smile from the nut-brown Rose

[00:01:31] No horse I'll yoke, or pipe I smoke,

[00:01:34] 'til the rust in my plough turn brown

[00:01:37] And a smiling bride by my own fireside

[00:01:40] sits the star of the County Down

[00:01:43] From Bantry Bay down to Derry Quay

[00:01:45] From Galway to Dublin town

[00:01:46] No maid I've seen like the fair cailin

[00:01:50] That I met in the County Down.
