Fiddler's Green
Star of the county down
Fiddler's Green- Star Of The County DownNear Banbridge town in the County Downone morning last July,from a boreen green came a sweet ColleenAnd she smiled as she passed me by.She looked so sweet from her two bare feetTo the sheen of her nut-brown hair.Such a coaxing elf, sure I shook myselfFor so see I was really there.Chorus:From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quayand from Galway to Dublin town,No maid I've seen like the fair colleenthat I met in the County Down.As she onward sped, sure I scratched my headAnd I looked with a feeling rare.And I say, say?s I, to a passer - by,"Who?s the maid with the nut - brown hair"?He smiled at me and he say?s, say?s he,"That?s the gem of Ireland?s crown.Young Rosie Mc Cann, from the banks of the bannShe?s the star of the County Down."SongtexteAt the Harvest Fair she?ll be surely thereAnd I'll dress in my Sunday clothes,with my shoes shone bright and my hat cocked rightfor a smile from my nut - brown rose.No pipe I'll smoke, no horse I'll yokeTill my plough it is rust - coloured brown.Till a smiling bride, by my own firesidesits the Star of the County Down
