Dm A# F C
Near Banbridge town, in the County Down
Dm A# Am
One morning last July
Dm A# F C
From a boreen green came a sweet colleen
Dm A# C Dm
And she smiled as she passed me by.
F C
She looked so sweet from her two bare feet
Dm Am
To the sheen of her nut-brown hair
Dm A# F C
Such a coaxing elf, sure I shook myself
Dm A# C Dm
Just to see I was really there.
F C
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay
Dm Am
And from Galway to Dublin town
Dm A# F C
No maid I've seen like the fair colleen
Dm A# C Dm
That I met in the County Down.

Dm A#-C-Dm
Dm A# F C
As she onward sped, sure I scratched my head
Dm A# Am
And I looked with a feeling rare
Dm A# F C
And I says, says I, to a passerby
Dm A# C Dm
"Who's the maid with the nut-brown hair?"
F C
He smiled at me and he says, says he
Dm Am
"That’s the gem of Ireland’s crown.
Dm A# F C
Young Rosie McCann from the banks of the Bann
Dm A# C Dm
She’s the star of the County Down."
F C
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay
Dm Am
And from Galway to Dublin town
Dm A# F C
No maid I've seen like the fair colleen
Dm A# C Dm
That I met in the County Down.

Dm A# F C
At the Harvest Fair she’ll be surely there
Dm A# Am
And I’ll dress in my Sunday clothes
Dm A# F C
With my shoes shone bright and my hat cocked right
Dm A# C Dm
For a smile from my nut-brown rose
F C
No pipe I’ll smoke, no horse I’ll yoke
Dm Am
Till my plough turns rust coloured brown
Dm A# F C
Till my smiling bride by my own fireside
Dm A# C Dm
Sits the star of the County Down
F C
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay
Dm Am
And from Galway to Dublin town
Dm A# F C
No maid I've seen like the fair colleen
Dm A# C Dm
That I met in the County Down.
