down a boreen green came a sweet colleen,

and she smiled as she passed me by.

             G                                                            D  
She looked so neat from her two bare feet,
                  Em                                                      D  
to the sheen of her nut brown hair.
                  Em              C                            G                 D

verse 3
                  Em            C                                 G                              D  
As she onward sped I sure I scratched my head,
                Em                                              D  
and I said with a feeling rare.
  Em                            C              G              D  
'A-y-e,' says I to a passer-by,

At the harvest fair I'll be surely    there,
                        Em                                            D  
and I'll dress in my Sunday clothes.
                     Em                         C                                 G              D  
With my shoes shone bright and my head upright,
