The High Kings
“Star of the County Down”
[Verse 1]
Near BEmanbridge town, in the CGounty DDown
One Emevening lCast JuDly
Down a bEmóithrín green came a sGweet cailDín
And she Emsmiled as she pDassed me Emby
She loGoked so neat in her tDwo bare feet
To the Emsheen of her nCut-brown hDair
Such a Emcoaxing elf, I'd to sGhake mysDelf
To make sEmure I was sDtanding tEmhere
[Chorus]
From BGantry Bay down to DDerry Quay
From GEmalway to DCublin tDown
No mEmaid I've seen like the fGair cailDín
That I Emmet in the CDounty EmDown
[Verse 2]
As she oEmnward sped I sGhook me hDead
And I Emgazed with a fCeeling qDueer
And I Emsaid, says I, to a pGasserDby
"Who's your Emone with the nDut-brown Emhair?"
He sGmiled at me, and with pDride says he:
"She's the Emgem of old ICreland's cDrown
Young EmRosie McCann from the bGanks of the DBann
And the Emstar of the CDounty EmDown"
[Chorus]
From BGantry Bay down to DDerry Quay
From GEmalway to DCublin tDown
No mEmaid I've seen like the fGair cailDín
That I Emmet in the CDounty EmDown
[Verse 3]
She'd a Emsoft brown eye and a lGook so sDly
And a Emsmile like the rCose in JDune
And you Emheld each note in her aGuburn tDhroat
As she lEmilted lamDenting Emtunes
At the pGattern dance you'd be iDn a trance
As she sEmkipped through a jCig or a rDeel
When her eEmyes, she'd roll, as she'd lGift your sDoul
And your Emheart, she would lDikely sEmteal
[Chorus]
From BGantry Bay down to DDerry Quay
From GEmalway to DCublin tDown
No mEmaid I've seen like the fGair cailDín
That I Emmet in the CDounty EmDown
[Verse 4]
At the hEmarvest fair she'll be sGurely tDhere
And I'll dEmress my SCunday cDlothes
With my Emhat cocked right and my sGhoes shone bDright
For a sEmmile from the nDut-brown EmRose
No hGorse I'll yoke, or pDipe I smoke
'Til the rEmust in my plCough turn bDrown
And a sEmmiling bride by my oGwn firesDide
Sits the sEmtar of the CDounty DEmown
[Chorus]
From BGantry Bay down to DDerry Quay
From GEmalway to DCublin tDown
No mEmaid I've seen like the fGair cailDín
That I Emmet in the CDounty EmDown
