Near Banbridge Town in the county town, [Em] one evening in last July
Down a bar in Green came my sweet [G] Colleen and she smiled as she passed [B] me by
She [F#] looked so neat from her true best beak and [C#] the sheen of her not brown hair
Such [C#m] a [E] coaxing elf I'd have shagged myself to make sure I was standing there
From Battery Bay [D#] down to Terry Cay, [C#] from Calwood to Dublin Town
Now made a scene like the fair [A] Colleen
That I met [E] in the county town
As she and the wife sped I shook my head and I gazed with a pale look aware
And I said says night to a passerby who's the one with the not [Em] brown hair
[G] He smiled at me [A] and what pride says he, [Em] she's a dame of a [D] darling crown
[E] Young Rosie McCann from the banks of the ban and the star of the county town
[G] From Battery Bay [D] down to Terry Cay, [Em] from Calwood to Dublin [D] Town
[E] Now made a scene like the fair Colleen that I met in the county town
She was soft [G] brown eye and I looked so sly [Em] and I smiled like the rose [D] in June
[E] And you held each note [G] from her arm and thrown her she lived in lamenting tunes
[G] At the bottom [Dm] Nancy in the end the trance [Em] as she skipped to a dig [D] a reel
[E] When her way she rolled [E] as she left your soul in her hand she would likely steal
[G] From Battery Bay [A] down to Terry Cay, [Em] from Calwood to [D] Dublin Town
[E] Now made a scene [Em] like the fair Colleen that I met in the county town
As I harvest fair she'll be [E] surely there and I'll dress in my Sunday clothes
When my hat got dried and my shoes shined bright for a smile from the not brown
[G] No Hudson's [A] yoke or pipe of [Em] smoke till I rust in my [D] brown and brown
[E] And a spiralling bride by my [D] own fire stage it's a star of the county town
[G] From Battery [D] Bay down to Terry Cay, [E] from Galway to Dublin Town
