Near Bunbridge town in the county down One morning [Dm] last July
[Gm] Down a boring [Bb] green came a sweet [G] Colleen And she smiled as she [Gm] passed me by
[Bb] She looked so [F] sweet from her two bar feet To the sheen of her [Dm] nut brown hair
[Eb] Such a wince I'm [Bb] elf I'm ashamed of [Gm] meself For to see I was staring there
From [Bb] Buntree Bay of the Derry's quay From Galway to [F] Dublin town
[Eb] No maid I've [Gm] seen like a fair [G] Colleen Had I met in the county [Gm] down
_ As she onwards bit sure I scratched me head And I looked with a [Dm] feeling rare
[G] And I says says [Bb] aye to a [Gm] passerby Who's a maid with a nut brown hair
[Bb] Well he looked at me [F] and he said to me [Gm] This a gem of [Dm] Ireland's crown
[Eb] Young Rosie [Bb] McCann from the banks of the bann [G] She's the star of the [Gm] county down
[Bb] From Buntree [F] Bay of the Derry's [Gm] quay From Galway to [F] Dublin town
[Eb] No maid I've [Bb] seen like a fair [G] Colleen Had I met in the county [Gm] down
_ She'd soft brown eyes with a look so shy And a smile like the [Dm] rose in June
[Gm] And she sang so sweet what a lovely [G] treat As she lilted an [Gm] Irish tune
[Bb] At the lambeth [F] dance I was in the [Gm] trance As she whirled with the [Dm] lads of the town
[Eb] And it broke me heart just to be apart [G] From the star of the [Gm] county down
[Bb] From Buntree [F] Bay of the Derry's [Gm] quay From Galway to [F] Dublin town
[Eb] No maid I've seen like a fair [G] Colleen Had I met in the [Gm] county down _ _ _ _

[G] _ _ [Gm] _ At the harvest fair she'll be surely there So I'll dress in my [Dm] Sunday clothes
[Gm] With my shush on bread and my hat cockarank For a smile from the nut brown rose
[Bb] No pipe I'll [F] smoke no horse I'll [Gm] yoke Till me plough is a [Dm] rose-coloured brown
[Eb] And a smiling bride by my own fireside Says the star of the [Gm] county down
[F] From Buntree Bay of the Derry's [Em] quay From Galway to [Dm] Dublin town
[G] No maid I've seen like a fair Colleen Had I met in the county down
[Bb] From Buntree [F] Bay of the Derry's [Gm] quay From Galway to [F] Dublin town
[Eb] No maid I've seen like a fair [G] Colleen Had I met in the [Gm] county down
