In Banbridge Town in the County Down
Em
C
D
One morning last July,
Em
G
D
From 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 my self
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
Em
G
D
As she onward sped, sure I scratched my head,
Em
C
D
And I looked with a feelin' rare,
Em
G
D
And I says, 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 says, says 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."

Em
G

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 rust coloured brown.
Em
G
D
Till a smiling bride by my own fireside
Em
D
Em
Sits the star of the County Down.
