Introducing the Star of the County Down on fiddle by Adam Sweet.

Watch it here: https://youtu.be/ue-DOXbexPE Also known as Diversus And Lazarus, Dives And Lazarus, Gilderoy, Kingsfold, The Star Of County Down, The Star Of The County Down March, When First I Left Old Ireland, Reáilt Condae An Dún, The Star Barndance. The words are by Cathal MacGarvey (1866–1927) from Ramelton, County Donegal. The melody is ancient, and may be known as "Dives and Lazarus" or (as a hymn tune) "Kingsfold". The melody was also used in an Irish folk song called "My Love Nell". The lyrics tell the story of a young man who courts a girl but loses her when she emigrates to America. I'd like to teach it to you on fiddle or mandolin. Visit my website at www.granbymusic.com to learn more
