Blackwaterside Lyrics

(Traditional)

One evening fair, I took the air

Down by Blackwaterside

'Twas in gazing all around me

That the Irish lad I spied

All through the first part of the night

We did laid, sport and play

And this young man arose, he gathered his clothes

Saying, "Fare thee well today"

That's not the promise that you gave to me

When the first you lay on my breast

You could make me believe with your lying tongue

That the sun rose in the west

Go home, go home, to your father's garden

Go home and weep your fill

And think upon your own misfortune

That you've wrought with your wanton will

There's not a girl in this whole town

As easily led as I

And when the sky does fall and the seas will run dry

White stand, you'll marry I
