《Star Of The County Down》歌词

[00:00:00] Star Of The County Down - The High Kings

[00:00:00] Near banbridge town in the county down

[00:00:02] One evening last july

[00:00:04] Down a bóithrín green came a sweet cailín

[00:00:06] And she smiled as she passed me by

[00:00:08] She looked so neat in her two bare feet

[00:00:11] To the sheen of her nut brown hair

[00:00:13] Such a coaxing elf i'd to shake myself

[00:00:15] To make sure I was standing there

[00:00:17] From bantry bay down to derry quay

[00:00:19] From galway to dublin town

[00:00:21] No maid i've seen like the fair cailín

[00:00:24] That I met in the county down

[00:00:26] As she onward sped

[00:00:27] I shook my head

[00:00:28] And I gazed with a feeling queer

[00:00:30] And I said says I to a passerby

[00:00:32] Who's your one with the nut brown hair

[00:00:35] He smiled at me and with pride says he

[00:00:37] She's the gem of old ireland's crown

[00:00:39] Young rosie mccann

[00:00:40] From the banks of the bann

[00:00:41] And the star of the county down

[00:00:43] From bantry bay down to derry quay

[00:00:45] From galway to dublin town

[00:00:47] No maid i've seen like the fair cailín

[00:00:50] That I met in the county down

[00:00:51] She'd a soft brown eye and

[00:00:53] A look so sly and a smile

[00:00:55] Like the rose in june

[00:00:56] And you held each note

[00:00:57] From her auburn throat

[00:00:58] As she lilted lamenting tunes

[00:01:00] At the pattern dance you'd be in trance

[00:01:02] As she skipped through a jig or reel

[00:01:05] When her eyes she'd roll as she'd lift soul

[00:01:08] And your heart she would likely steal

[00:01:10] From bantry bay down to derry quay

[00:01:12] From galway to dublin town

[00:01:14] No maid i've seen like the fair cailín

[00:01:17] That I met in the county down

[00:01:19] At the harvest fair she'll be surely there

[00:01:21] And i'll dress my sunday clothes

[00:01:23] With my hat cocked right

[00:01:24] And my shoes shon bright

[00:01:25] For a smile from the nut brown rose

[00:01:27] No horse i'll yoke or pipe I smoke

[00:01:30] Till the rust in my plough turn brown

[00:01:32] And a smiling bride by my own fireside

[00:01:34] Sits the star of the county down

[00:01:36] From bantry bay down to derry quay

[00:01:38] From galway to dublin town

[00:01:40] No maid i've seen like the fair cailín

[00:01:43] That I met in the county down

[00:01:53] She'd a soft brown eye and

[00:01:55] A look so sly and a smile

[00:01:56] Like the rose in june

[00:01:58] And you held each note

[00:01:59] From her auburn throat

[00:02:00] As she lilted lamenting tunes

[00:02:02] At the pattern dance you'd be in trance

[00:02:04] As she skipped through a jig or reel

[00:02:07] When her eyes she'd roll

[00:02:09] As she'd lift soul

[00:02:10] And your heart

[00:02:10] She would likely steal

[00:02:29] From bantry bay down to derry quay

[00:02:31] From galway to dublin town

[00:02:33] No maid i've seen like the fair cailín
