Blackwater Side

One evening fair I took the air
 Down by Blackwater side
 'Twas gazing all around me
 When the Irish lad I spied
 All through the first part of that night
 We did lie in sport and play
 Then this young man arose and gathered his clothes
 And said, "Fare ye well, I am away"
 That's not the promise you gave to me
 When first you lay on my breast
 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 weep your fill
 And think upon your own misfortune
 That you brought with your wanton will
 There's not one girl in this whole town
 As easily led as I
 When the sky does fall and the seas run dry
 Why it's then you'll marry I
