im making a mix cd for my girlfriend(shes a huge music fan)ive got every song planned out except the first one…i was thinking this song by the pogues…based on the lyrics what would you think? for a first track(the most important one, really)

Near to 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
Such a coaxing elf, sure I shook myself
For to see I was really there

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

As she onward sped sure I scratched my head
And I looked with a feeling rare
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
Young 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

At the harvest fair she’ll be surely there
And I’ll dress in my Sunday clothes
With my shoes shone 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 plough turns a rust coloured brown
Till a smiling bride by my own fireside
Sits 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
