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.
