Subject: RE: Star of the country down From: Alan of Australia Date: 21 Jun 97 - 12:13 AM I'd be surprised if Richard Robinson's Tune book didn't have it. That site is too slow right now to be able to check. The URL is:-
http://celtic.stanford.edu/pub/tunes/RRTunebook/ Search for county down (NOT country). Cheers, |

Subject: Chords Add: STAR OF THE COUNTY DOWN From: ron k Date: 24 Jun 97 - 09:45 PM Try these:
Near (Em) Bambridge Town in the (C) County (D) Down Use the chords from the last four lines in the chorus. I hope this helps. |
Subject: Chords Add: STAR OF THE COUNTY DOWN From: Alan of Australia Date: 25 Jun 97 - 03:47 AM These chords will sound better to some people:
Near (Em) Banbridge Town in the (G) County (D) Down

Subject: RE: Star of the country down From: Buzz Date: 07 Jul 97 - 08:45 PM the sets of words (first verses) here are all good - I've heard - and I sing -variations on these, but no important differences; In some sources there are a lot of verses, which would probably bore many audiences - think I got mine from a Soodlum's - we moved recently and most of mystuff is not disorganised, but still in a box - at any rate the f1st, 2nd and last verses usu work well |

Subject: RE: Star of the country down From: Tim Jaques tjaques@netcom.ca Date: 20 Jul 97 - 11:34 AM I usually hear it sung as "bowling green". |
Subject: RE: Star of the country down From: Martin Ryan Date: 21 Jul 97 - 11:23 AM A "Boreen" is a rough track or road. Literally, in Irish, it means "small road". Regards |
