Here about rich town [Bm] in the county down [G] one morning last [Bm] July
From a boring green [G] came a sweet Colleen and she [C] smiled as she passed me [Em] by
She looked so sweet [D] from her two bare feet [G] to the sheen of her nut [Bm] brown hair
[Em] Such a coaxing elf sure as shook myself for to see I was really there
[G] From Bat-Tree [D] Bay up to Derrick [G] Bay and from Galway to [D] Dublin town
[E] No maid I've [G] seen like the brown [G] Colleen that I met in the [Em] county down
[E]
As she [C] onwards sped sure as [G] scratched my head and I [C] looked with a feelin' rare
[Em] And I said says [G] I to a passerby who's a [Em] maid with the nut brown hair
He smiled at me and he says says see that's a jammer of a highland's crown

[Em] the harvest [G] first she'll be surely there and I'll dress her more [Bm] Sunday
Put my shoe-shone bridle and my hot-cocked ride for a [B] smile from her nut brown rose
[G] No pipe I'll [F#] smoke no [E] horse I'll yoke never plough with his [Bm] first-coloured brown
[Em] He'll be smiling bright while I hold my sight as the star of the county down
From Bat-Tree [D] Bay up to Derrick [Em] Bay and from Galway to [D] Dublin town
