Star Lyrics - Enter The Haggis

Near Banbridge Town in the County Down 

One morning last July 

Down 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 

Sure the coaxing elf, I'd to shake myself 

To be sure I was standing there 

As she onward sped, sure I shook my head 

And I gazed with a feeling quare 

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, 

Miss Rosie McCann 

From the banks of the Bann, 

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 brown colleen 

That I met in the County Down 

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 

She'd a soft brown eye and a look so sly 

And a smile like a rose in June 

And you hung on each note 

from her lilly-white throat 

As she lilted an Irish tune 

At the pattern dance you were held in a trance 

As she kicked through a reel or a jig 

And when her eyes she'd roll, 

She would lick your soul 

A heart she would quickly steal
