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.

As she onward sped, sure I scratched my head,
And I looked with a feelin' rare,
And I say's, say's I, to a passer-by,
"Whose the maid with the nut brown hair"?
He smiled at me and he says's, say's he,
"That's the gem of Ireland's crown.
Young Rosie McCann from the banks of the Bann,
She's the star of the County Down".

Chorus:
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Ouay and
From Galway to Dublin Town,
No maid I've seen like the brown colleen
That I met in the County Down.

At the Harvest Fair she'll be surely there
And I'll dress in my Sunday clothes,
With my shoes shone bright and my hat cocked
Right for a smile from my nut brown rose.
No pipe I'll smoke, no horse I'll yoke
Till my plough turns rust coloured brown.
Till a smiling bride, by my own fireside
Sits the star of the County Down.

You know you drive me up a wall
The way you make good for all the nasty tricks you pull
Seems like we're making up more than we're making love
And it always seems you got something on your mind other than me
Girl, you got to change your crazy ways, you hear me

Say you're leaving on a seven thirty train
And that you're heading out to Hollywood
Girl, you've been giving me that line so many times
It kinda gets like feeling bad looks good, yeah
That kinda loving turns a man to a slave
That kinda loving sends a man right to his grave

I go crazy, crazy, baby, I go crazy
You turn it on then you're gone, yeah, you drive me
Crazy, crazy, crazy for you, baby
What can I do, honey, I feel like the color blue

You're packing up your stuff and talking like it's tough
And trying to tell me that it's time to go, yeah
But I know you ain't wearing nothing underneath that overcoat
And it's all a show, yeah
That kinda loving makes me wanna pull down the shade, yeah
That kinda loving, yeah
Now I'm never, never, never, never gonna me the same

I go crazy, crazy, baby, I go crazy
You turn it on then you're gone, yeah, you drive me
Crazy, crazy, crazy for you, baby
What can I do, honey, I feel like the color blue
I'm losing my mind, girl, 'cause I'm going crazy

I need your love, honey, yeah
I need your love

Crazy, crazy, crazy for you, baby
I'm losing my mind, girl, 'cause I'm going crazy
Crazy, crazy, crazy for you, baby
You turn it on then you're gone, yeah, you drive me
