Intro: Instrumental chorus
Near [Am] Banbridge town, in the [C] County [G] Down
One [Am] morning last [G] July
From a [Am] bóithrín green came a [C] sweet coll-[G]een
And she [Am] smiled as she [G] passed me [Am] by.
She [C] looked so sweet in her [G] two bare feet
To the [Am] sheen of her nut-brown [G] hair
Such a [Am] coaxsome elf sure I [C] shook [G] myself
For to [Am] see she was [G] really [Am] there.
Chorus: From [C] Bantry Bay down to [G] Derry Quay,
From [Am] Galway to Dublin [G] town
No [Am] maid I've seen like the [C] fair coll-[G]een
That I [Am] met in the [G] County [Am] Down.
As she onward sped sure I [C] shook my [G] head
And I [Am] gazed with a feeling [G] rare,
And I [Am] said, says I, to a [C] passer-[G]by
"Who's your [Am] one with the [G] nut-brown [Am] hair?"
He [C] smiled at me, and with [G] pride says he,
"She's the [Am] gem of Ireland's [G] crown.
Young [Am] Rosie McCann from the [C] banks of the [G] Bann
And the [Am] star of the [G] County [Am] Down."
Chorus
At the harvest fair she'll be [C] surely [G] there
And I'll [Am] dress my Sunday [G] clothes
With my [Am] hat cocked right and my [C] shoes shone [G] bright
For a [Am] smile from the [G] nut-brown [Am] Rose
No [C] horse I'll yoke, or [G] pipe I’ll smoke,
'til my [Am] plough is rusting [G] brown
And a [Am] smiling bride by my [C] own fire-[G]side
Sits the [Am] star of the [G] County [Am] Down
Outro:
From [C] Bantry Bay down to [G] Derry Quay,
From [Am] Galway to Dublin [G] town
No [Am] maid I've seen like the [C] fair coll-[G]een
That I [Am] met in the [G] County [Am] Down.
No [Am] maid I've seen like the [C] fair coll-[G]een
That I [Am] met in the [G] County [Am] Down.
