[Em] Near Bamburgstown in the county town, One born and the [D] last to lie.
[Em] Down the boring green came a sweet Colleen, And she smiled as she passed me by.
[G] Oh, she looked so sweet [D] from her two bare feet, [Em] To the she never-knit [D] brown hair.
[Em] Such a winsome elf [G] that I pinched myself, For to see I was [Em] standing there.

She onward sped [G] while I scratched my head, [Em] And I looked with a feeling [D] rare.
[Em] And I said, says I, [G] to a passerby, Who's that maid [B] with the nut brown hair.
[G] Oh, he smiled at me, [D] and he said, says he, [Em] She's the gem of [D] Ireland's crown.
[Em] Young Rosin McCann [G] from the banks of the Bann, She's the star of the [Em] county town.

[Em] Yeah, with fair and square [D] I surrendered there, To the charm of old Rosin [Em] McCann.
[G] With a heart to let and [D] no tenant yet, [Em] Did I meet when a row [D] began.
[Em] Never in cheer went, [D] and I asked no rent, From the stark county [Em] town.
