_ Near the Bad Bridge town [G] in the county down [Em] One morning last [Bm] July
[Em] Down a boring green [G] came a sweet [D] Colleen And [Em] she smiled [Am] as she passed [Em] me by
[G] She looked [D] so neat from her two bare feet [Em] To the sheen [C] of her nut [Bm] brown hair
[Em] Such a winsome elf, [G] sure I shook [D] meself [Em] For to see I was really there
[G] From Bad Tree [D] Bay out of Der Eeskay [Em] And from Galway to [Bm] Dublin town
[G] No maid I've seen like the fair Colleen That I met [Am] in the [Em] county down
_ [G] _ _ [C] _ _ [D] _
[Em] _ _ _ As she onwards bent [G] sure I scratched [D] my head [Em] And I looked with a [Bm] feeling rare
[Em] And I says as I [G] to a [D] passerby [Em] Who's the maid with the nut brown hair
[G] Well he smiled at [D] me and he says as he [Em] That's the gem of [Bm] Ireland's crown
[Em] Young Rosie [G] McCann from the [D] Bensie The [Em] man she's the [Am] star of the [Em] county down
[G] From Bad Tree [D] Bay out of Der [Em] Eeskay And from Galway to [Bm] Dublin town
[Em] No maid I've [G] seen like the [D] fair [Em] Colleen That I met in the county down
_ _ [G] _ [C] _
_ [D] _ [Em] _ _ _ She had soft brown [G] eyes and I [D] looked so [Em] shy And I [C] smiled like the [Bm] rose in June
[Em] And she sang so [G] sweet what a [D] lovely [Em] treat As she looked at an Irish tune
[G] At the lambus [D] dance I was in a [Em] trance As she whirled with the [Bm] boys at the town
[Em] And me heart did [G] race just to [D] see The [Em] face of the [Am] star of the [Em] county down
[G] From Bad Tree [D] Bay out of Der [Em] Eeskay And from [C] Galway to [Bm] Dublin town
[Em] No maid I've seen like the [D] fair [Am] Colleen That I met in the [Em] county down

At the Harvest [G] Fair she'll be [D] surely [Em] there So I'll dress in my [Bm] Sunday clothes
[Em] With me shoes shone [G] bright and me [D] hat cut [Em] around For a smile from the nut brown rose
[G] No pipe I'll [A] smoke no horse I'll [Em] yip till me plough Is [Bm] a rust-coloured brown
[Em] Till I smile in bright by [D] me own [Em] fireside As the [Am] star of the [Em] county down
From Bad Tree Bay out of Der Eeskay And from Galway to Dublin town
No maid I've seen like the fair Colleen That I met in the county down
[G] From Bad Tree [D] Bay out of Der [C] Eeskay And from Galway [Bm] to Dublin town
[G] No maid I've seen like the fair Colleen That I met in [Em] the county down
