_ _ _ _ [D] _ [Em] _ I was to [G] Vanbridgetown in the county [Em] town one morning last [Am] July
[G] [Em] Down a boring [G] green pen a sweet [Em] Colleen and she smiled [D] as she passed [Em] me by
[Em] _ Oh [G] she looked so sweet [D] from her two white [Em] feet to the sheen of her nut brown [D] [Em] hair
Sure the coaxing elf [G] I had to [D] shake [Em] myself to make sure I was standing there _
From [G] Bantry Bay [D] up to Derry Cay [Em] from Galway to Dublin [D] town
No [Em] maid I'd seen [G] like the brown [D] [Em] Colleen that I met in the county town
As she onwards [G] sped and I shook my head [Em] and I gazed with a [D] feeling rare
[Em] And I said says [G] I to a passerby [Em] who's a girl with nut brown hair
Well [G] he looked at me with a smile and said [Em] he'd a gem of fire [D] in his crown
[Em] She's young Rose [G] McCann from the banks to the band [Em] she's the star [D] of the [Em] county [D] town

travel a bit [G] but I ne'er was [Em] hit since my roving [D] career it began
[G] [Em] And fair and square [G] I [D] surrender [Em] there to the charms of young Rose McCann
With [G] a heart to [D] let to no tenancy yet did [Em] I meet pretty [D] short her a gown
[Em] But in she [G] went I asked no rent [Em] from the star [D] of the [Em] county town

[Em] No maid I'd [G] seen like the brown [Em] Colleen that I met in the county [G] town
From Bantry [D] Bay up to Derry [Em] Cay from Galway to Dublin [D] _ town
[Em] Sure no maid I'd seen [G] like the brown [D] Colleen that [Bm] I met in the county [Em] town _
