In Banbridge Town in the County Down
One morning last July,
From a boreen green came a sweet colleen
And she smiled as she passed me by.
She looked so sweet from her two bare feet
To the sheen of her nut brown hair.
Such a coaxing elf, sure I shook myself
For to see I was really there.
Chorus:
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay and
From Galway to Dublin Town,
No maid I've seen like the brown colleen
That I met in the County Down.
As she onward sped, sure I scratched my head,
And I looked with a feelin' rare,
And I says, says I, to a passer-by,
"Who's the maid with the nut brown hair?"
He smiled at me and he says, says he,
"That's the gem of Ireland's crown.
Young Rosie McCann from the banks of the Bann,
She's the star of the County Down."
Chorus:
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay and
From Galway to Dublin Town,
No maid I've seen like the fair colleen
That I met in the County Down.
At the Harvest Fair she'll be surely there
And I'll dress in my Sunday clothes,
With my shoes shone bright and my hat cocked right
For a smile from my nut brown rose.
No pipe I'll smoke, no horse I'll yoke
Till my plough turns rust coloured brown.
Till a smiling bride by my own fireside
Sits the star of the County Down. From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay and
From Galway to Dublin Town,
No maid I've seen like the fair colleen
That I met in the County Down. - เพลง

I always remember my Mom playing this song growing up but I could never find it until recently! It makes me want to burst out in dance, I love it! Lol☺️
general rule of thumb, try to remember a single line, then type it into youtube. usually it works

No one does it like Van....There's always such an emotional longing in his voice. Beautiful...

Hi Chris, what a great version of the song. Do you know where this music video is from? My mum got quite a (happy) shock when she came across it as she thinks she’s in it! Would love to be able to find out more. Thank you!
its mostly made from online material i found and spliced in glad she liked it if you do a google search you may find more photos
such a good song...
wonder if i can play it on guitar
It's not the lesving of Livrrpool
I can trace my roots back to Thomas Law who came to America in the late 1800's from County Down.

I’m from co down and when I was young I looked like that and so did a lot of young girls.
