Blackwaterside
One evening fair I took the air
Down by Blackwaterside
And in gazing all around me
'Twas the Irish lad I spied

All for the first part of that night
We two did sport and play
Then that young man arose and gathered up his clothes
Saying, "Fair lady, well a-day."

Oh, that's not the promise that you gave to me
When you lay upon my breast
For you made 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 cry your fill
And think on your misfortunes
And that you brought with your wanton will

For there's not one girl in this wide world
So easily led as I
Oh, the fishes will fly and the seas will run dry
Sure it is then you'll marry I
One evening fair I took the air
Down by Blackwaterside
And in gazing all around me
'Twas the Irish lad I spied
