Near Banbridge town in the county down One [Eb] morning last July
[Gm] Down a boring green came a sweet [F] Colleen [G] And she smiled as she passed [Gm] me by
[Bb] She looked so sweet [F] from her two bare feet To the sheen [Eb] of her nut [Dm] brown hair
Such a [Bb] winsome elf I'm ashamed of [G] meself For to see I was staring [Gm]
there
[Bb] From Bantry Bay [F] up the Derry's quay From Galway to Dublin town
[Eb] No maid [Bb] I've seen like the fair [G] Colleen That I met in the county down
_ As she [Bb] onwards bid fare I scratched me [Gm] head And I looked with [Dm] a feeling rare
[Gm] And I says as I do a [G] passerby Who's the maid with the [Gm] nut brown hair
[Bb] Well he looked at [F] me and he said to [Eb] me That's the gem of [Dm] Ireland's crown
[Eb] Young Rosie [Bb] McCann from the banks of the [G] ban She's the star of the [Gm] county down
[Bb] From Bantry [F] Bay up the Derry's [Gm] quay From Galway to [F] Dublin town
[Eb] No maid I've [Bb] seen like the fair [G] Colleen That I met in the county down
_ She'd soft brown [Bb] eyes with a look so [Gm] 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 [Gm] Taran So she whirled with the [Dm] lads of the town
[Eb] And it broke [Gm] me heart just to be apart [G] From the star of the [Gm] county down
[Bb] From Bantry [F] Bay up the Derry's [G] quay From Galway to [F] Dublin town

[G] _ _ [Gm] _ At the harvest fair [Bb] she'll be surely there [Gm] So I'll dress in my [Dm] Sunday clothes
[Gm] With my shoe shun braid and my hat cocked around For a smile from the nut brown rose
[Bb] Though by my old spoke [F] no horse I'll yoke [Gm] To meet now as a roost [Dm] colour brown
[Eb] And a smiling bride by my own fireside Is the star of the county [Gm] down
[F] From Bantry Bay up the Derry's quay [G] From Galway to Dublin [Dm] town
[G] No maid I've seen like the fair Colleen That I met in the county down
[Bb] From Bantry Bay [F] up the Derry's quay [Gm] From Galway to Dublin [F] town
[Eb] No maid [Bb] I've seen like the fair [G] Colleen That I met in the county [Gm] down
