Banbridge Town in the County Down

One morning of last July
Em C G D
From a boreen green came a sweet colleen
C Em
And she smiled as she passed me by
[Verse]
G D
She looked so sweet, from her two bare feet
C Bm
To the sheen of her nut brown hair
Em C G C
Such a coaxing elf, sure I shook myself
Em D Em
For to see I was really there
[Chorus]

From Bantry Bay into Derry Quay

From Galway to Dublin Town

No maid I've seen, like the fair colleen

C G D
As she onward sped, sure I scratched my head
C Bm
And I looked with a feelin' rare
Em C G D
And I says, says I, to a passer-by
C D Em
"Who's the maid with the nut brown hair?
[Verse]

He smiled at me and he says, says he

"That's the gem of Ireland's crown
Em C G C
Young Rosie McCann from the banks of the Bann
Em D Em
She's the star of the County Down"

[Verse]
C G D
The Harvest Fair, she'll be surely there
C Bm
And I'll dress in my Sunday clothes
Em C G D
With my shoes shone bright and my hat cocked right
C D Em
For a smile from my nut brown rose
[Verse]
G D
No pipe I'll smoke, no horse I'll yoke
C Bm
Till my plough turns rust coloured brown
Em C G D
Till my smiling bride, by my own fireside
Em D Em
Sits the star of the County Down
[Chorus]
G D
From Bantry Bay into Derry Quay
C Bm
From Galway to Dublin Town
Em C G D
No maid I've seen, like the fair colleen

That I met in the County Down

From Bantry Bay into Derry Quay

From Galway to Dublin Town

No maid I've seen, like the fair colleen

That I met in the County Down
