Star Of The County Down  Misc. Traditional



[Em]Near Bainbridge town in the coun[G]ty down [D]one morning la[Em]st July              [D]
Down the wild bor[Em]een came a sweet Colle[G]en and she s[D]miled as she passed me[Em] by.             [C]            [Em]
She looked s[G]o sweet from her two[Am] bare-feet to the sheen of her n[G]ut brown hair.  [Em]                [D]
Sure a coaxin[Em]g elf I'd to shake me-self t[G]o make sure I[D] was standing ther[Em]e.             [C]           [Em]
Chorus:
From Bantry [G]Bay down to Derry Quay from Galway [Am]to Dublin Town.              [G]             [Em]             [D]
No Maid [Em]I've seen like the sweet Colleen that [G]I met in the county down.     [D]                [Em]       [C]    [Em]
[Em]As she onward sped sure I shook my head an[G]d I gazed wit[D]h a feeling quar[Em]e                                [D]
And I said, says I, [Em]to a passer-by: whose the maid with t[G]he nut bro[D]wn hair?      [Em]        [C]              [Em]
Oh he smile[G]d at me and with [Am]pride says he; that's the gem[G] of Ireland's crown.  [Em]                           [D]
She's young Rosie McGa[Em]nn from the banks of the Bann sh[G]e's the star of the county  [D]      [Em]                [C]
[Em]Down.

Chorus:
[Em]She'd a soft brown eye and a look so sly a[G]nd a smile like a r[D]ose in June  [Em]              [D]
And you [Em]craved each note from he[G]r lily-w[D]hite throat as s[Em]he lifte[C]d an Iri[Em]sh tune
[G]At the pattern d[Am]ance you'd be he[G]ld in trance as [Em]she tripped through a ji[D]g or a reel
When her eyes sh[Em]e'd roll she would lift [G]your soul and yo[D]ur heart she wou[Em]ld quick[C]ly steal[Em]

Chorus:
[Em]Now I've roamed a bit was never [G]hit since my tra[D]veling d[Em]ays began       [D]
But fair[Em] and square I su[G]rrendered there [D]to the c[Em]harms of[C] young R[Em]osie McCann
With my heart to[G] let sur[Am]e no tenant yet [G]did I meet with [Em]a shawl or a gow[D]n
But in she went [Em]and I asked no rent from[G] the star of the[D] County [Em]Down.   [C]   [Em]
