     Dm                     F      C        F       Dm     C
Near Bainbridge town in the county down one morning last July
         Dm                 F        C            F             Bb     C  Dm
Down the wild boreen came a sweet Colleen and she smiled as she passed me by.
    F                        Gm                   F            Dm        C
She looked so sweet from her two bare-feet to the sheen of her nut brown hair.
       Dm                 F        C            Dm         Bb   C   Dm
Sure a coaxing elf I'd to shake me-self to make sure I was standing there.

   Dm                      F        C           Dm         Bb  C  Dm

       Dm                 F        C          F            Dm      C
As she onward sped sure I shook my head and I gazed with a feeling quare
      Dm                 F      C             F             Bb  C     Dm
And I said, says I, to a passer-by: who's the maid with the nut brown hair?
      F                     Gm                        F      Dm        C
Oh he smiled at me and with pride says he; that's the gem of Ireland's crown.
            Dm                    F            C              Dm          Bb  C  Dm
She's young Rosie McGann from the banks of the Bann she's the star of the county down.

        Dm                   F       C         F            Dm      C
She'd a soft brown eye and a look so sly and a smile like a rose in June
        Dm                        F          C             F         Bb C  Dm
And you craved each note from her lily-white throat as she lifted an Irish tune
       F                      Gm                    F                 Dm       C
At the pattern dance you'd be held in trance as she tripped through a jig or a reel
        Dm                         F         C             Dm              Bb   C  Dm
When her eyes she'd roll she would lift your soul and your heart she would quickly steal
 
 
[Chorus]
     F                  Gm              F         Dm     C

[Verse 4]
         Dm               F     C            F         Dm     C
Now I've roamed a bit was never hit since my traveling days began
    Dm                    F       C            F               Bb    C  Dm
But fair and square I surrendered there to the charms of young Rosie McCann
        F                    Gm               F           Dm         C
With my heart to let sure no tenant yet did I meet with a shawl or a gown
    Dm                F        C             Dm          Bb  C  Dm
But in she went and I asked no rent from the star of the County Down.

No Maid I've seen like the sweet Colleen that I met in the county down.
