Near Bambridge town in the county [D] down one morning last July
[Em] Down the boring green came a sweet Colleen and she smiled as she passed me by
[G] Oh she looked [D] so neat from her two [Em] bare feet to the sheen of her nut [D] brown hair
Such [G] a coaxin' elf I shook [Em] myself to be sure I was standin' there
From [G] Bantry [D] Bay up to Derry Bay and from Galway to Dublin town
[G] Oh may I seem like [B] the brown Colleen that I met in the county [Em] down
As she [G] onwards fared I shook me head and I gazed with [D] a feelin' queer
[Em] And I says, says [G] I to a [Em] passerby who's a maid with the nut brown hair
[G] Oh he smiled at [D] me and with pride says [Em] he that's a gem of [D] all Ireland crown
[G] She's young Rosie McCann from the banks of [Em] the Van she's a star of the county down
[G] From Bantry [D] Bay up to Derry [Em] Bay and from Galway to [D] Dublin town
[Em] Oh may I seem like the brown Colleen that I met in the county down
Well I've travelled a bit [G] but was never hit since my rovin' [D] career began
[Em] But fair and [G] square I surrendered there to the charms of a [Em] Rose McCann
[G] I'd a heart to lend [D] to no tenant yet [Em] did I meet with a chawl or [G] gown
But in she went and I'll ask no [Em] rent from the star of the county down
[G] From Bantry [D] Bay up to Derry [Em] Bay and from Galway to Dublin town
Oh may I seem like the brown Colleen that I met in the county down
At the crossroads fair [G] she'll be surely there and I'll dress in my [D] Sunday clothes
[Em] With a shoe shone bright [G] and a hat cockerite [Em] for a smile from a nut brown Rose
[G] No pipe I'll smoke [D] no horse I'll yoke [Em] no mothball with the rust [D] turns brown
And [G] my smilin' bride by my [Em] fireside's a star of the county down
[G] From Bantry Bay [D] up to [Em] Derry Bay and from Galway to Dublin [D] town
Oh [Em] may I seem [D] like the brown Colleen [Em] that I met in the county down
