common one
By Nolan
Near 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,
The gem of Ireland's crown she's 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 sweet colleen that I met in the County Down
No pipe I'll smoke no horse I'll yoke, and my plow turns rust coloured brown
Till the smiling bride by my own fireside, sits the star of the County Down
