[Verse]
In DmBanbridge Town in the FCountyC Down
One Dmmorning last CJuly,
Down a Dmboreen Bbgreen come a Fsweet colCleen
And she Dmsmiled as she Dmpassed Cme Dmby.
She Flooked so sweet from her Ctwo bare feet
To the Dmsheen of her nut brown Chair.
Such a Dmwinsome Bbelf, I'm aFshamed of myCself
For to Dmsee I was DmstarCing Dmthere.
[Chorus]
From FBantry Bay up to CDerry Quay and
From DmGalway to Dublin CTown,
No Dmmaid I've Bbseen like the Ffair colCleen
That I Dmmet in the DmCounCty DmDown.
[Verse 2]
As she Dmonward sped, sure I Fscratched my Chead,
And I Dmlooked with a feelin' Crare,
And I Dmsays, says BbI, to a Fpasser-Cby,
"Who's the Dmmaid with the Dmnut Cbrown Dmhair?"
He Fsmiled at me and he Csays, says he,
"That's the Dmgem of Ireland's Ccrown.
Young DmRosie McBbCann from the Fbanks of the CBann,
She's the Dmstar of the DmCounCty DmDown."
[Chorus]
From FBantry Bay up to CDerry Quay and
From DmGalway to Dublin CTown,
No Dmmaid I've Bbseen like the Ffair colCleen
That I Dmmet in the DmCounCty DmDown.
[Verse 3]
She'd Dmsoft brown eyes with a Flook so Cshy
And a Dmsmile like the rose in CJune
And she Dmsang so Bbsweet, what a Flovely Ctreat
As she Dmlilted an DmIrisCh Dmtune.
At the FLambeth dance I was Cin a trance
as she Dmwhirled with the lads of the Ctown,
And it Dmbroke my Bbheart just to Fbe aCpart
from the Dmstar of the DmCounCty DmDown."
[Chorus]
From FBantry Bay up to CDerry Quay and
From DmGalway to Dublin CTown,
No Dmmaid I've Bbseen like the Fsweet coClleen
That I Dmmet in the DmCounCty DmDown.

(back to Dm)
At the DmHarvest Fair she'll be Fsurely Cthere
And I'll Dmdress in my Sunday Cclothes,
With my Dmshoes shone Bbbright and my Fhat cocked Cright
For a Dmsmile from my Dmnut Cbrown Dmrose.
No Fpipe I'll smoke, no Chorse I'll yoke
Till my Dmplough turns rust coloured Cbrown.
And a Dmsmiling Bbbride by my Fown fireCside
Sits the Dmstar of the DmCounCty DmDown.
[Chorus]
From FBantry Bay up to CDerry Quay and
From DmGalway to Dublin CTown,
No Dmmaid I've Bbseen like the Ffair colCleen
That I Dmmet in the DmCounCty DmDown.
From FBantry Bay up to CDerry Quay and
From DmGalway to Dublin CTown,
No Dmmaid I've Bbseen like the Ffair colCleen
That I Dmmet in the DmCounCty DmDown.
From FBantry Bay up to CDerry Quay and
From DmGalway to Dublin CTown,
No Dmmaid I've Bbseen like the Ffair colCleen
That I Dmmet in the DmCounCty DmDown.
From FBantry Bay up to CDerry Quay and
From DmGalway to Dublin CTown,
No Dmmaid I've Bbseen like the Ffair colCleen
That I Dmmet in the DmCounCty DmDown.
