Verse 1
In Am Banbridge Town in the C County G Down
One Am morning F last G July,
Down a Am boreen green came a C sweet G colleen
And she Am smiled as she G passed me Am by.
She C looked so sweet from her G two bare feet
To the Am sheen of her F nut brown G hair.
Such a Am coaxing elf, sure I C shook my G self
To make Am sure I was G really Am there.

From C Bantry Bay up to G Derry Quay and
From Am Galway to F Dublin G Town,
No Am maid I've seen like the C sweet colGleen
That I Am met in the G County Am Down.

And I Am gazed with a F feelin' G rare,
And I Am says, says I, to a C passer G-by,

"That's the Am gem of old F Ireland's G crown.
That's Am Rosie McCann from the C banks of the G Bann,
She's the Am star of the G County Am Down."

From C Bantry Bay up to G Derry Quay and
From Am Galway to F Dublin G Town,
No Am maid I've seen like the C sweet colGleen

Verse 3
At the Am Harvest Fair she'll be C surely G there
So I'll Am dress in my F Sunday G clothes,
With my Am shoes shone bright and my C hat cocked G right
For a Am smile from my G nut brown Am rose.
No C pipe I'll smoke, no G horse I'll yoke
Till my Am plough is a F rust coloured G brown.
Till a Am smiling bride by my C own fire G side
Sits the Am star of the G County Am Down.
Chorus
From C Bantry Bay up to G Derry Quay and
From Am Galway to F Dublin G Town,
No Am maid I've seen like the C sweet colGleen
That I Am met in the G County Am Down.
