Star Of The County Down


        Em                     G      D         G       Em   D 
Near to Banbridge town, in the County Down, one morning in July 
       Em                  G          D          G             C      D  Em 
Down a boreen green came a sweet colleen and she smiled as she passed me by 
    G                       Am                    G            Em        D 
She looked so neat from her two white feet to the sheen of her nut-brown hair 
         Em                  G        D            Em         C   D    Em 
Sure the coaxing elf, I'd to shake myself, to make sure I was standing there 


           G                Am                  G         Em     D 
      From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay and from Galway to Dublin town 
          Em                     G          D         Em     C   D  Em 
      No maid I've seen like the sweet colleen that I met in County Down 


        Em                     G      D         G       Em   D 
As she onward sped, sure I scratched my head, And I looked with a feelin' are, 
       Em                  G          D          G             C      D  Em 
And I say's, say's I, to a passer by, "Who's the maid with the nut brown hair?" 
    G                       Am                    G            Em        D 
He smyiled at me and he say's, say's he, "That's the gem of the Ireland's crown, 
         Em                  G        D            Em         C   D    Em 
Young Rosie McCann from the banks of the Bann, She's the star of the County Down".  

           G                Am                  G         Em     D 
      From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay and from Galway to Dublin town 
          Em                     G          D         Em     C   D  Em 
      No maid I've seen like the sweet colleen that I met in County Down 


        Em                     G      D         G       Em   D 
At the harvest fair she'll be surely there So I'll dress in my Sunday clothes, 
       Em                  G          D          G             C      D  Em 
With my shoes shine bright, and my hat cocked right, For the smile of a nut brown rose. 
    G                       Am                    G            Em        D 
No pipe I'll smoke, no horse I'll yoke, Till my plough turns rust coloured brown. 
         Em                  G        D            Em         C   D    Em 
Till a smyling bride, by my own fireside Sits the star of the County Down.  


           G                Am                  G         Em     D 
      From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay and from Galway to Dublin town 
          Em                     G          D         Em     C   D  Em 
      No maid I've seen like the sweet colleen that I met in County Down
