Near Bunbridge town in the county down One morning [Dm] last July
[Gm] Down a boring green came a sweet Colleen [G] And she smiled as she [Gm] passed me by
[Bb] She looked so [F] sweet from her two bar feet To the sheen of her nut [Dm] brown hair
[Eb] Such a winsome elf [Bb] I'm ashamed of meself [G] For to see I was [Gm] staring there
[Bb] From Buntree [F] Bay of the Derry's [G] quay From Galway to [F] Dublin town
[Eb] No maid I've seen like the fair [G] Colleen Had I met in the county [Gm] down
_ As she onwards bent sure I scratched me head And I looked with a [Dm] feeling rare
[G] And I says says I [Bb] to a passerby Who's a maid with a nut [Gm] brown hair
[Bb] Well he looked at me [F] and he said to me [Eb] This a gem of [Dm] Ireland's crown
[Eb] Young Rosie McCann [Bb] from the banks of the ban [G] She's the star of the county [Gm] down
[Bb] From Buntree Bay [F] of the Derry's quay From Galway to Dublin town
[Eb] No maid I've seen [Bb] like the fair Colleen [G] Had I met in the [Gm] county down
_ She'd soft brown eyes with a look so shy And a smile like the [Dm] rose in June
[Gm] And she sang so sweet what a lovely treat [G] As she lilted an [Gm] Aries tune
[Bb] At the Lambeth dance [F] I was in the [Gm] trance As she whirled with the [Dm] lads of the town
[Eb] And it broke me heart [Gm] just to be apart From the star of the [Gm] county down
[Bb] From Buntree [F] Bay of the Derry's [Gm] quay From Galway to [F] Dublin town
[Eb] No maid I've seen like the fair [G] Colleen Had I met in the [Gm] county down _ _ _

_ [G] _ _ [Gm] _ At the Harvest Fair she'll be surely there So I'll dress in my [Dm] Sunday clothes
[Gm] With my shoes shunned bright and my hat cockeranked For a smile from the nut brown rose
[Bb] No pipe I'll [F] smoke no horse I'll [Gm] yoke Till me plough is a [Dm] rose-coloured brown
[Eb] And a smiling bride by my own fireside Says the star of the [Gm] county down
[Bb] From Buntree [F] Bay of the Derry's [G] quay From Galway to Dublin town
No maid I've seen like the fair Colleen Had I met in the county down
[Bb] From Buntree [F] Bay of the Derry's [Gm] quay From Galway [F] to Dublin town
[Eb] No maid I've seen like the fair [G] Colleen Had I met in the [Gm] county down _ _ _
