Standard (EADGBE)

In Banbridge Town in the County Down

One morning last July,

From a boreen green came a sweet colleen

And she smiled as she passed me by.

She looked so sweet from her two bare feet

To the sheen of her nut brown hair.

Such a coaxing elf, sure I shook my self

For to see I was really there.

Chorus

From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay and

From Galway to Dublin Town,

No maid I've seen like the brown colleen

That I met in the County Down.
