VERSE 1
********
F#m A
In Banbridge Town, in the County Down
F#m E
One morning last July
F#m A
From a boreen green came a sweet colleen
F#m E
And she smiled as she passed me by
A E
And, she looked so sweet from her two bare feet
F#m E
To the sheen of her nut-brown hair
F#m A
Such a coaxing elf, Should i shook myself
F#m
For to see was i really there
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
CHORUS
*******
A E
from Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay
F#m E
Galway to Dublin town
F#m E
No maid I've seen like the sweet colleen
F#m
That I met in the County Down

VERSE 2
********
F#m A
As she onward sped, sure I scratched head
F#m E
And I looked with a feeling rare
F#m A
And I said, says I, to a passer-by
F#m E
"Who's the maid with the nut-brown hair
A E
he smiled at me, and he said, says he
F#m E
"That's the gem of Ireland's crown
F#m A
Thats Rosie McCann from the banks of the Bann
F#m
She's the Star of the County Down

VERSE 3
********
F#m A
At the harvest fair she'll be surely there
F#m E
And I'll dress in my Sunday clothes
F#m A
With me shoes shone bright, and my hat cocked right
F#m E
For a smile from my nut-brown Rose
A E
No pipe I'll smoke, no horse I'll yoke
F#m E
Though my brown colored rust colored plow
F#m A
Till a smiling bride by my own fireside
F#m
Sits the Star of the County Down
