Banbridge Town in the County Down
  C         Bm
One morning of last July
    Em   C      G    D
From a boreen green came a sweet colleen
    C            Em
And she smiled as she passed me by

Verse:
  G             D
She looked so sweet, from her two bare feet
    C           Bm
To the sheen of her nut brown hair
    Em      C   G    C
Such a coaxing elf, sure I shook myself
    Em    D   Em
For to see I was really there

Chorus:
   G        D
From Bantry Bay into Derry Quay
   C        Bm

That I met in the County Down

Verse:
       C      G      D
As she onward sped, sure I scratched my head
   C           Bm
And I looked with a feelin' rare
   Em     C    G   D
And I says, says I, to a passer-by
      C       D     Em
"Who's the maid with the nut brown hair?

Verse:
  G          D
He smiled at me and he says, says he
      C        Bm
"That's the gem of Ireland's crown
   Em   C       G      C
Young Rosie McCann from the banks of the Bann
     Em     D   Em
She's the star of the County Down"

Verse:
      C        G   D
The Harvest Fair, she'll be surely there
     C         Bm
And I'll dress in my Sunday clothes
    Em     C       G     D
With my shoes shone bright and my hat cocked right
   C       D     Em
For a smile from my nut brown rose

Verse:
  G          D
No pipe I'll smoke, no horse I'll yoke
    C             Bm
Till my plough turns rust coloured brown
    Em   C      G    D
Till my smiling bride, by my own fireside
     Em     D   Em
Sits the star of the County Down

Chorus:
   G        D
From Bantry Bay into Derry Quay
   C        Bm

No maid I've seen, like the fair colleen
    C     D   Em
That I met in the County Down

Chorus:
