In [Em]Banbridge Town in the [C]County [D]Down
|
||
|
|
One [Em]morning [C]last Ju[D]ly,
|
||
|
|
From a [Em]boreen green came a [G]sweet col[D]leen
|
||
|
|
And she [Em]smiled as she [D]passed me [Em]by.
|
||
|
|
She [G]looked so sweet from her [D]two bare feet
|
||
|
|
To the [Em]sheen of her [C]nut brown [D]hair.
|
||
|
|
Such a [Em]coaxing elf, sure I [G]shook me[D]self
|
||
|
|
For to [Em]see I was [D]really [Em]there.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
{soc}
|
||
|
|
From [G]Bantry Bay up to [D]Derry Quay and
|
||
|
|
From [Em]Galway to [C]Dublin [D]Town,
|
||
|
|
No [Em]maid I've seen like the [G]brown col[D]leen
|
||
|
|
That I [Em]met in the [D]County [Em]Down.
|
||
|
|
{eoc}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As she [Em]onward sped, sure I [G]scratched my [D]head,
|
||
|
|
And I [Em]looked with a [C]feelin' [D]rare,
|
||
|
|
And I [Em]says, says I, to a [G]passer-[D]by,
|
||
|
|
"Who's the [Em]maid with the [D]nut brown [Em]hair?"
|
||
|
|
He [G]smiled at me and he [D]says, says he,
|
||
|
|
"That's the [Em]gem of [C]Ireland's [D]crown.
|
||
|
|
Young [Em]Rosie McCann from the [G]banks of the [D]Bann,
|
||
|
|
She's the [Em]star of the [D]County [Em]Down."

|

|
|
|
||
|
|
At the [Em]Harvest Fair she'll be [G]surely [D]there
|
||
|
|
And I'll [Em]dress in my [C]Sunday [D]clothes,
|
||
|
|
With my [Em]shoes shone bright and my [G]hat cocked [D]right
|
||
|
|
For a [Em]smile from my [D]nut brown [Em]rose.
|
||
|
|
No [G]pipe I'll smoke and no [D]horse I'll yoke
|
||
|
|
'Till my [Em]plough turns [C]rust coloured [D]brown.
|
||
|
|
'Till a [Em]smiling bride by my [G]own fire[D]side
|
||
|
|
Sits the [Em]star of the [D]County [Em]Down.
