Noel McLoughlin - Star of the county down

Cl^Eose to Banbridge T^Cown in the C^Gounty D^Down one m^Emorning last Jul^Dy Down a bor^Emeen gr^Ceen came a sw^Geet coll^Deen and she sm^Emiled as she pass^Ced m^De b^Emy. She l^Gooked so sweet from her tw^Do bare feet, to the sh^Emeen of her nut-brown h^Dair. Such a c^Emoaxing ^Celf, I'd to sh^Gake mys^Delf, to make s^Emure i was r^Ceall^Dy th^Emere.

From B^Gantry Bay up to D^Derry Quay and from G^Emalway to Dublin T^Down. No m^Emaid I've s^Ceen like the br^Gown coll^Deen, that I m^Emet in the C^Count^Dy D^Emown.

^EmAs she onward sp^Ced, sure I scr^Gatched my h^Dead and I s^Emaid with a feelin' r^Dare, "A^Emy", say's ^CI, to a p^Gasser-b^Dy: "Who's the m^Emaid with the n^Cut-br^Down h^Emair?" He sm^Giled at me and th^Den say's he: "She's the g^Emem of Ireland's cr^Down, young R^Emosie McC^Cann from the b^Ganks of the B^Dann, she's the st^Emar of the C^Count]^Dy D^Emown"

From B^Gantry Bay up to D^Derry Quay and from G^Emalway to Dublin T^Down. No m^Emaid I've s^Ceen like the br^Gown coll^Deen, that I m^Emet in the C^Count^Dy D^Emown.

^EmAt the harvest f^Cair I'll be s^Gurely th^Dere and I'll dr^Emess in my sunday cl^Dothes, with my sh^Emoes shone br^Cight and my h^Gat upr^Dight and a sm^Emile from my n^Cut-br^Down r^Emose. No p^Gipe I smoke, no h^Dorse I'll yoke let my pl^Emough with rust turn br^Down till a sm^Emiling br^Cide by my ^Gown fires^Dide sits the st^Emar of the C^Count^Dy D^Emown.
