Em G D Near to Banbridge Town, in the County Down Em D One morning in July, Em G D Down a boreen green came a sweet colleen, Em Am Em And she smiled as she passed me by; G D Oh, she looked so neat from her two white feet Em Am D To the sheen of her nut-brown hair, Em G D Sure the coaxing elf, I'd to shake myself Em Am Em To make sure I was standing there Chorus: G D Oh, from Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay, Em D And from Galway to Dublin town, Em G D No maid I've seen like the brown colleen Em Am Em That I met in the County Down. As she onward sped, sure I scratched my head And I looked with a feelin' rare And I says, says I, to a passer-by "Whose the maid with the nut brown hair?" He smiled at me and he says's, says's he "That's the gem of Ireland's crown Young Rosie McCann from the banks of a Bann She's the star of the County Down" Chorus At the Harvest Fair, she'll be surely there And I'll dress in my Sunday clothes Get my shoes shone bright and my hat cocked right For a smile from my nut-brown rose No pipe I'll smoke, no horse I'll yoke 'Til my plough turns rust colored brown 'Til a smiling bride, by my own fireside Sits the star of the County Down Chorus - x2 | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsAm  D  Em  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
