Verse 1
(E minor) Near to Banbridge Town,
in the (G major) county town, (D major)
One (E minor) morning in July, (D major)
Down a (E minor) boring green came
a (G major) sweet Colleen, (D major)
She smiled (E minor) as she (D major) passed me (E minor) by. (G major)
(D major) (E minor) (D major) (E minor)
(G major) (D major) (E minor) (D major) (E minor)
She looked (G major) so neat,
from her two (D major) white feet
To the (E minor) sheen of her not -brown hair (D major)
Such a (E minor) coaxing elf, I had to shake (G major) myself
(D major) To make sure (E minor) I was (D major) really there (E minor) (G major)
(D major) (E minor) (D major)
(E minor) (G major) (D major) (E minor) (D major) (E minor)
From (G major) Bantry Bay up to (D major) Derry Quay
And from (E minor) Galway to Dublin town (D major)
(G major) No maid (E minor) I've seen like the (G major) sweet Colleen
(D major) That I (E minor) met in the County Down
As she unwrapped's
bed I (G major) shook my (D major) head
And (E minor) I gazed with a feeling queer (D major)
And (E minor) set eyes aside to (G major) a passer -by
(D major) Who's (E minor) the maid with
(D major) the matte brown (E minor) hair
He (G major) smiled at me with (D major) pride, said he
That's (E minor) the gem of Ireland's (D major) crown
She sang (E minor) Rosie McCann
from the (G major) banks of (D major) the Banff,
(E minor) the star of the County Down.
From (G major) Banshree Bay up (D major) to Derry Cay
and (E minor) from Galway to Dublin Town, (D major)
Nor (E minor) made her seem like the (G major) sweet Colleen
(D major) that I (E minor) met in the County Down.
I have travelled a bit,
but I (G major) never was sick
since (E minor) her roving career began. (D major)
But (E minor) Perham Square, I (G major) surrender there,
(D major) for the (E minor) charm of Rosie McCann.
With a (G major) heart to let and no (D major) tenent yet
Did I (E minor) meet with a charler gone
(D major) But (E minor) in she went and I
(G major) asked no rent
From the (E minor) star or the county down
From (G major) Banshree Bay up to (D major) Derringhae
And (E minor) from Owey to Dublin town (D major)
No (E minor) maid I seen like the sweet Colleen
(D major) That (E minor) I met in (D major) the county down (E minor)
She had a soft brown eye and (G major) a look so sly
(D major) And a (E minor) smile like a rose in (D major) June
And you (E minor) hung on each note
from (G major) your lily -red (D major) throat
as she (E minor) lilted an Irish tune
And that (G major) battering dance,
you were (D major) held in trance
when she (E minor) thripped through a reel or (D major) jig
And when (E minor) her eyes she drove,
she'd (G major) coax my soul like a
(E minor) spurt of a hungry pig
From (G major) Bantry Bay and to (D major) Derry May
and from (E minor) Bowie to Dublin Town (D major)
No (E minor) maid I seen like the (G major) sweet Colleen
(D major) that I (E minor) met in (D major) the county town (E minor) (G major) (D major) (E minor)
(D major) (E minor)
(G major) (D major) (E minor) (G major) (D major) (E minor) (D major)
(E minor) (G major) (D major) (E minor)
From (G major) Bantry Bay up to (D major) Derry Bay
And from (E minor) Galway to Dublin town
(D major) No (E minor) maid I've seen like the (G major) sweet Colleen
(D major) That I (E minor) met in the (D major) county down (E minor)
At the Crossroads Fair,
I'll be (G major) surely there, (D major)
I'll (E minor) dress in my Sunday glow, (D major)
And I'll (E minor) try sheep's eyes
and de (G major) -lovering lice,
(D major) To the (E minor) harp or the nut -grown rose.
No (G major) pipe I smote, no (D major) horse I choked,
Nor my (E minor) plough with rust turns (D major) brown,
Till a (E minor) smiling bride by the (G major) old fire site,
(D major) Sits a (E minor) star or the (D major) county down. (E minor)
From (G major) Bantry Bay up to (D major) Derricay,
And from (E minor) Galway to Dowling (D major) Town,
No (E minor) maid I've seen like the (G major) sweet Colleen
(D major) That I (E minor) met in the county down.
From (G major) Bantry Bay up to (D major) Derry Cay
And from (E minor) Galway to Dublin Town
(D major) No (E minor) maid I've seen like the (G major) sweet Colleen
(D major) That (E minor) I met in the (D major) county down. (E minor)
