_ _ _ In Van [C] Ridge town [G] in the county town
One [C] morning last [Bm] July
[Em] From a boring wink [G] came a sweet Colleen
That she smiled [D] as she passed [Em] me by
[G] She looked so sweet [D] from her two brown feet
[G] To the sheen [C] of her nut [Bm] brown hair
[Em] Such a coaxing elf [G] sure I took for [D] myself
[G] For to see [Am] I was really [Em] there
[G] From Battery Bay [D] up to [G] Derry Cay
Up from [C] Galway to Dublin [Bm] town
[Em] Now old maid [C] I've seen [G] like a brown Colleen
That I met [Em] in the county town
[D] At [C] _ [Bm] _
[Em] _ _ _ [E] the harvest fair [G] she'll be surely there
I'll [C] dress in my [Bm] Sunday clothes
[Em] While my shoe [C] is shone right [G] and my [D] hot cock right
[G] For a smile [C] from a [Em] nut brown rose
[G] No pipe I'll [D] smoke, no horse I'll [G] yoke
Till my [C] plow is a [Bm] rust colored brown
[Em] Till a [C] smiling [G] bride by my [D] own [G] fireside
Sits the [C] star of the [Em] county town
[G] From Battery [D] Bay up to Derry [G] Cay
Up from [C] Galway to [Bm] Dublin town
[Em] Now old [C] maid I've [G] seen like a [D] brown [G] Colleen
That I [C] met in the [Em] county town

the [C] young witch [G] spits here I scratch my head
And I [C] look with a [Bm] feeling rare
[Em] And I [C] said says [G] I to a [D] [G] passerby
Of the [C] maid with the [Em] nut brown hair
[G] He looked at [Dm] me and he said, said
[G] See that's a [C] gem of a [Bm] violin's crown
[Em] [C] Young Rosie [G] McCann from the [D] banks of the [G] band
She's the [C] star of the [Em] county town
[G] From Battery [D] Bay up to Derry [G] Cay
Up from [C] Galway to [Bm] Dublin town
