_ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Gb] Near Banbridge [A] Town in the [E] county down, _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ One [Dbm] morning last July,
_ _ _ [Gbm] _
Down a boring green came a [B] sweet Colleen, [E] _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ [Gbm] _
[Db] She smiled as she passed me by. _ _
[Db] _ _ [A] She looked so [E] sweet from her two white feet, _ _ [Ab] _ _ [A] To the sheen of her nut brown hair, _ _
_ _ [Gbm] Such a coaxing [A] gal fight to [E] shake myself, _ _ _ _ _ _
[Gb] To make sure [Dbm] I was [Gb] standing there.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ [Gb]
As I [A] onwards sped, I shook my head, _ _ _ [B] Gazed with a [Dbm] feeling rare,
_ _ _ _ _ [Gbm] I set his eye [E] to a puzzled bide, _ _
[Dbm] _ _ _ [A] Who's the maid [Dbm] with the nut brown [Gb] hair?
_ _ _ [A] He smiled at [Abm] me with pride, said [Dbm] he, _
_ [A] _ That's [Gb] a gem [Db] in [Gb] Ireland's crown.
[Db] _ _ [Gbm] She's young Rosie McCann from the [Abm] banks of the Bown, _ _ _
[Dbm] _ _ _ _ [B] She's the star [Gb] of the county down, _ _ _ [A] From Bantry [E] Bay up to Derry Cay, _ _
_ _ _ From Galway to Dublin [Gb] town, _ _ _ No maid I've [A] seen like the sweet [Dbm] _ Colleen,
_ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ That I [Dbm] met in the county [Gb] down. _ _ _
_ I've travelled a bit, but [E] never was hit,
[Dbm] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ Since [Gb] my roving [E] career [Gb] began, _ [Dbm] _ _
_ [Gb] _ But [A] fair and square [B] I surrendered [B] there,
_ [Dbm] _ _ _
[A] To the [E] charms of young [Gbm] Rosie McCann, _ [Db] _ _ [A] I had a [E] hat to let down, no tenant yet,
_ [Gb] Did I meet in shawl [Dbm] or gown, _ [Gb] _ _
But in she [A] went and I asked no rent,
_ [Dbm] _ _ _ [A] From the [E] star of the county [Ab] down, _ _ _
[A] From Bantry [E] Bay up to Derry Cay,
_ _ [B] From Galway to [Dbm] Dublin town, _ [Gb] _ _ _ No [B] maid I've seen like the sweet [E] Colleen,
_ _ [A] _
_ _ _ [Gb] That I met [E] in the county [Db] _ down. _ _ _ _ _
[Gb] _ _ At [Abm] the crossroads [A] fair I'll be surely [Dbm] there,
_ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ Dressed [Gb] in my [E] Sunday clothes, _ _ [Gb] _ _ I'll try sheep's eyes, deluded and [Dbm] lies, _ _
[Ab] _ On [E] the hat of the nut [Ab] brown [Gb]
rose, _ _ _ [A] No pipe I'll [Dbm] smoke, no [E] hot saliope,
_ _ _ [Ab]
Till red rust my plough turns brown, [Dbm] _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ [Gb] Till a [A] smiling bride by my own fire sighs,
_ _ _ _ _ Since the star of the [Gb] county down.
