Black Water Side

Lyrics

One morning fair I took he air
 Down by blackwater side
 T'was gazing all al around me
 The Irish lad I spied
 ♪
 All through the fore part of the night
 We lay in sport and play
 Till this young man arose and gathered his clothes
 Saying 'Fair thee well today!'
 ♪
 That's not the promise that you gave to me
 When first you lay on my breast
 You could make me believe with your lying tongue
 That the sun rose in the West
 When go home to your father's garden
 Go home and weep your fill
 And think on your own misfortune
 That you brought with your wanton will
 One morning fair I took the air
 That hung about black waterside
 T'was a gazing path all around it
 And the Irish that I spied
