Em G D
Near Banbridge Town in the County Down
Em C D
One morning last July,
Em G D
Down a boreen green came a sweet colleen
Em D Em
And she smiled as she passed me by.
G D
She looked so sweet from her two bare feet
Em C D
To the sheen of her nut-brown hair.
Em G D
Such a coaxing elf, sure I shook myself
Em D Em
For to see I was really there.
G D
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay and
Em C D
From Galway to Dublin Town,
Em G D
No maid I've seen like the brown colleen
Em D Em
That I met in the County Down.

Em G D
As she onward sped, I shook my head,
Em C D
And I looked with a feelin' rare,
Em G D
And I sayd, says I, to a passer-by,
Em D Em
"Who's the maid with the nut-brown hair?"
G D
He smiled at me and he sayd, says he, (alt.: and with pride sayd he)
Em C D
"That's the gem of Ireland's crown.
Em G D
Young Rosie McCann from the banks of the Bann,
Em D Em
She's the star of the County Down."
G D
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay and
Em C D
From Galway to Dublin Town,
Em G D
No maid I've seen like the brown colleen
Em D Em
That I met in the County Down
Em G D
She´d a soft brown eye and a look so sly
Em C D
And a smile like a rose in june
Em G D
And you hung on each note from her lilly-white throat
Em D Em
As she lilted an Irish tune
G D
At the pattern dance you were held in a trance
Em C D
As she skipped to a reel or a jig
Em G D
When her eyes she´d roll, she´d coax upon my soul
Em D Em
A spud from a hungry pig
G D
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay and
Em C D
From Galway to Dublin Town,
Em G D
No maid I've seen like the brown colleen
Em D Em
That I met in the County Down
Em G D
I´ve travelled a bit, but never was hit
Em C D
Since my roving career began
Em G D
But fair and square I surrended there
Em D Em
To the charm of young Rosie McCann
G D
With a heart to let and no tenant yet
Em C D
Did I meet within shawl or gown
Em G D
But in she went and I asked no rent
Em D Em
From the star of the County Down
G D
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay and
Em C D
From Galway to Dublin Town,
Em G D
No maid I've seen like the brown colleen
Em D Em

Em G D
At the Harvest Fair she'll be surely there
Em C D
And I'll dress in my Sunday clothes,
Em G D
With my shoes shone bright and my hat cocked right
Em D Em
For a smile from my nut-brown rose.
G D
No pipe I'll smoke, no horse I'll yoke
Em C D
Till my plough turns rustcoloured brown.
Em G D
Till a smiling bride by my own fireside
Em D Em
Sits the star of the County Down.
G D
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay and
Em C D
From Galway to Dublin Town,
Em G D
No maid I've seen like the brown colleen
