Near Banbridge town in the County Down one morning in July

Oh she looked so sweet from her two white feet to the sheen of her nut-brown hair

    Em                    C         D            Em      D      Em

With a heart to let and no tenant yet did I meet within shawl or gown

But in she went and I asked no rent from the star of the County Down
