Banbridge Town in the County Down
  C majorC         B minorBm
One morning of last July
    E minorEm   C majorC      G+G    D MajorD
From a boreen green came a sweet colleen
    C majorC            E minorEm
And she smiled as she passed me by

Verse:
  G+G             D MajorD
She looked so sweet, from her two bare feet
    C majorC           B minorBm
To the sheen of her nut brown hair
    E minorEm      C majorC   G+G    C majorC
Such a coaxing elf, sure I shook myself

For to see I was really there

   C majorC           B minorBm
And I looked with a feelin' rare
   E minorEm     C majorC    G+G   D MajorD
And I says, says I, to a passer-by
      C majorC       D MajorD     E minorEm
"Who's the maid with the nut brown hair?

Verse:
  G+G          D MajorD
He smiled at me and he says, says he
      C majorC        B minorBm
"That's the gem of Ireland's crown
   E minorEm   C majorC       G+G      C majorC
Young Rosie McCann from the banks of the Bann
     E minorEm     D MajorD   E minorEm
She's the star of the County Down"

Verse:
      C majorC        G+G   D MajorD
The Harvest Fair, she'll be surely there
     C majorC         B minorBm
And I'll dress in my Sunday clothes
    E minorEm     C majorC       G+G     D MajorD
With my shoes shone bright and my hat cocked right
   C majorC       D MajorD     E minorEm
For a smile from my nut brown rose

Verse:
  G+G          D MajorD
No pipe I'll smoke, no horse I'll yoke
    C majorC             B minorBm
Till my plough turns rust coloured brown
    E minorEm   C majorC      G+G    D MajorD
Till my smiling bride, by my own fireside
     E minorEm     D MajorD   E minorEm
Sits the star of the County Down
