Near [Dm]Banbridge [A#]town, in the [F]County [C]Down
One [Dm]morning [A#]last Ju[Am]ly
From a [Dm]boreen [A#]green came a [F]sweet [C]colleen
And she [Dm]smiled as she [A#]passed [C]me [Dm]by.
She [F]looked so sweet from her [C]two bare feet
To the [Dm]sheen of her nut-brown [Am]hair
Such a [Dm]coaxing [A#]elf, sure I [F]shook my[C]self
Just to [Dm]see I was [A#]rea[C]lly [Dm]there.
From [F]Bantry Bay up to [C]Derry Quay
And from [Dm]Galway to Dublin [Am]town
No [Dm]maid I've [A#]seen like the [F]fair co[C]lleen
That I [Dm]met in the [A#]Coun[C]ty [Dm]Down.

As she [Dm]onward [A#]sped, sure I [F]scratched my [C]head
And I [Dm]looked with a [A#]feeling [Am]rare
And I [Dm]says, says [A#]I, to a [F]passer[C]by
"Who's the [Dm]maid with the [A#]nut-[C]brown [Dm]hair?"
He [F]smiled at me and he [C]says, says he
"Thatā??s th[Dm]e gem of Irelandā[Am]??s crown.
Young [Dm]Rosie Mc[A#]Cann from the [F]banks of the [C]Bann
Sheā??s th[Dm]e star of th[A#]e Co[C]unt[Dm]y Down."
From [F]Bantry Bay up to [C]Derry Quay
And from [Dm]Galway to Dublin [Am]town
No [Dm]maid I've [A#]seen like the [F]fair co[C]lleen
That I [Dm]met in the [A#]Coun[C]ty [Dm]Down.

At the [Dm]Harvest [A#]Fair sheā??ll b[F]e surel[C]y there
And Iā??l[Dm]l dress in m[A#]y Sunda[Am]y clothes
With my [Dm]shoes shone [A#]bright and my [F]hat cocked [C]right
For a [Dm]smile from my [A#]nut-[C]brown [Dm]rose
No [F]pipe Iā??ll smoke, n[C]o horse Iā??ll yoke
Till my [Dm]plough turns rust coloured [Am]brown
Till my [Dm]smiling [A#]bride by my [F]own fire[C]side
Sits the [Dm]star of the [A#]Coun[C]ty [Dm]Down
From [F]Bantry Bay up to [C]Derry Quay
And from [Dm]Galway to Dublin [Am]town
No [Dm]maid I've [A#]seen like the [F]fair co[C]lleen
