She Glooked so sweet from her Dtwo bare feet To the Emsheen of her Cnut-brown Dhair. Such a Emcoaxin' Celf, sure I Gshook my Dself For to Emsee if I was Creal-Dly Emthere. Chorus From GBantry Bay up to DDerry Quay And from EmGalway to CDublin Dtown, No Emmaid I've Cseen like the Gbrown col-Dleenalso "fair colleen" or "sweet colleen" o.a.m. That I Em met in the CCoun-Dty EmDown. 2nd Verse As she Emonward Csped, sure I Gscratched my Dhead And I Emlooked with a Cfeelin' Drare. And I Emsays, says CI, to a Gpasser-Dby "Who's the Emmaid with the Cnut Dbrown Emhair?" He Gsmiled at me and Dthen, says he, "That's the Emgem of the CIreland's Dcrown, Young EmRosie Mc-CCann from the Gbanks of the DBann. She's the EmStar of the CCoun-Dty EmDown." 3rd Verse She'd a Emsoft brown Ceye and a Glook so Dshy And a Emsmile like the Crose in DJune. And you Emhung on each Cnote from her Glily-white Dthroat As she Emlilted an CI-Drish Emtune. At the Gpattern dance, you were Dheld in a trance As she Emtripped through a Creel or a Djig. And when her Emeyes she'd Croll, she'd coax up-Gon my Dsoul A Emspud from a Chung-Dry Empig   4th Verse I've Emtraveled a Cbit, but Gnever was Dhit Since my Emroving Ccareer be-Dgan. But Emfair and Csquare I sur-Grendered Dthere To the Emcharm of young CRo-Dsie Mc-EmCann. With a Gheart to let and no Dtenant yet Did I Emmeet within Cshawl or Dgown, But Emin she Cwent and I Gasked no Drent From the EmStar of the CCoun-Dty EmDown   (Chorus) 5th Verse At the EmHarvest CFaire she'll be Gsurely Dthere, So I'll Emdress in my CSunday Dclothes. With my Emshoes shone Cbright and my Ghat cocked Dright, For a Emsmile from my Cnut-Dbrown Emrose. No Gpipe I'll smoke; no Dhorse I'll yoke 'Til my Emplow is a Crust-colored Dbrown, 'Til my Emsmilin' Cbride by my Gown fire-Dside Sits the EmStar of the CCoun-Dty EmDown   (Chorus) Weblinks The Star of the County Down Star+Of+The+County+Down Star of the County Down Star Of The County Down Lagerfeuerdiplom American-Folk Folk-Songs Irish-Folk Lieder auf Englisch
