[G] Near Banridgetown in the county down [C] One morning [Bm] last July
[G] From a boring green came a sweet Colleen And [C] she smiled as she passed me by
[G] She looked [D] so sweet from her two [G] bare feet [C] To the sheen [D] of her nut brown [Em] hair
Such a coaxing elf she [D] was, shook [G] myself For to see I was really [Em] there
[G] From Bantry Bay [D] up to [Em] Derrick Bay And from Galway to Dublin [D] town
[Em] No maid I've seen [D] like the brown [Em] Colleen That I met in the county down
As [Bm] [E]
[Em] she onwards sped she [G] scratched my head And I looked with a feeling rare
And I searched his eye to a passerby [Em] Who's a maid with the nut brown hair
[G] He smiled at me [D] and he says, [G] says, see That's a jam of a [Bm] violent crown
[Em] Young Ruthie McCann from [D] the banks of [Em] the Banshee Just started the county down
[G] From Bantry Bay [D] up to [G] Derrick Bay And [Em] from Galway [Bm] to Dublin town
[Em] No maid I've seen [D] like the brown [G] Colleen [Em] That I met in the county down
At [D] [Em] [D]
[Em] [D] [Em]
the harvest [G] first she'll be surely there And [Em] I'll dress in my [D] Sunday clothes
[G] Put my shoe-shine bright and my hat cotton [B] bright For a smile from a nut brown [G] rose
No pot for [D] smoke, no horse I'll [Em] yoke And my plow is [G] rust-colored brown
[Em] Till the smiling bride by the [D] old fire [Em] side Fits the star of the county down
[G] From Bantry [D] Bay up to Derrick [Em] Bay And from Galway to [D] Dublin town
[Em] No maid I've seen like the [D] brown [G] Colleen That I [Em] met in the county down
[G] From [Em] Bantry [D] Bay up to Derrick [Em] Bay And from Galway to [G] Dublin town
[Em] No maid I've seen like the brown [D] Colleen [Em] That I met in the county down
From [G] Bantry [D] Bay up to Derrick Bay [C] And from [D] Galway to Dublin town
[Em] No maid I've seen [D] like the brown Colleen [Em] That I met in the county down
