Testo The Star of the County Down - Bap Kennedy feat. Energy Orchard
Testo della canzone The Star of the County Down (Bap Kennedy feat. Energy Orchard), tratta dall'album Shinola
Hey!
In the far glen of County Down
One morning last July
From a foreign green came a sweet cailín
And she smiled as she passed me by
And she looked so sweet from her two bare feet
To the sheen of her nut-brown hair
Such a coaxing elf, should have shook myself
Just to see if she was really there
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay
Going to Dublin town
No maid I've seen like the sweet cailín
That I met in the County Down, hey!
As the sun went to bed, sure I scratched my head
And I looked for the feenin' rare
"And who's it", says I, to a passer-by
"Who's the maid with the nut-brown hair?"
And he smiled at me, and he said, says he
"That's a gem from the Barlow's Mound
Roses grow on her corn on the banks of the Boyne"
She's the star of the County Down
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay
Going to Dublin town
No maid I've seen like the sweet cailín
That I met in the County Down, hey!
At the harvest fair she'll be surely there
And I'll dress in my Sunday clothes
And my shoes shine 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 brow turns rust color brown
Till I'm smilin' proud by my own fireside
She's the star of the County Down
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay
Going to Dublin town
No maid I've seen like the sweet cailín
That I met in the County Down, hey!
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay
Going to Dublin town
No maid I've seen like the sweet cailín
That I met in the County Down
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay
Going to Dublin town
No maid I've seen like the sweet cailín
That I met in the County Down
