Verse:
   Em                    G      DIn Banbridge Town in the County Down
    Em      C    DOne morning last July,
       Em                  G     DFrom a boreen green came a sweet colleen
        Em            D          EmAnd she smiled as she passed me by.
    G                        DShe looked so sweet from her two bare feet
       Em           C         DTo the sheen of her nut brown hair.
       Em                  G        DSuch a coaxing elf, sure I shook my self
       Em        D      EmFor to see I was really there.

Chorus:
     G                DFrom Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay and
     Em        C      DFrom Galway to Dublin Town,
   Em                      G         DNo maid I've seen like the brown colleen
       Em         D      EmThat I met in the County Down.

Verse2:
       Em                  G            DAs she onward sped, sure I scratched my head,
      Em            C       DAnd I looked with a feelin' rare,
      Em                 G      DAnd I says, says I, to a passer-by,
           Em            D         Em"Who's the maid with the nut brown hair?"
   G                   DHe smiled at me and he says, says he,
            Em     C         D"That's the gem of Ireland's crown.
      Em                    G            DYoung Rosie McCann from the banks of the Bann,
          Em          D      EmShe's the star of the County Down."

Chorus:
     G                DFrom Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay and
     Em        C      DFrom Galway to Dublin Town,
   Em                      G         DNo maid I've seen like the brown colleen
       Em         D      EmThat I met in the County Down

Verse3:
       Em                     G      DAt the Harvest Fair she'll be surely there
         Em          C      DAnd I'll dress in my Sunday clothes,
        Em                        G          DWith my shoes shone bright and my hat cocked right
      Em            D         EmFor a smile from my nut brown rose.
   G                   DNo pipe I'll smoke, no horse I'll yoke
        Em           C             DTill my plough turns rust coloured brown.
       Em                  G        DTill a smiling bride by my own fireside
         Em          D      EmSits the star of the County Down.
