Blackwaterside

One evening fair
 To take the air
 Down by Blackwaterside
 And gazing all around me
 This handsome lad I spied, spied
 This handsome lad I spied
 All through the first part of the night
 While we lay in sport and play
 And this young man arose
 And he gathered his clothes
 He said, "Fare thee well today"
 He said, "Fare thee well today"
 That's not the promise
 That you gave to me
 When first you lay on my breast
 You can make me believe
 With your lying tongue
 That the sun rose in the west, the west
 That the sun rose in the west
 ♪
 Ooh, ooh
 Ooh, ooh
 Then go home, go home
 To your father's garden
 Go home and weep your fill
 And think of your own misfortune
 That you brought with your wanton will
 That you brought with your wanton will
 There's not a girl
 In the whole wide world
 More easily led than me
 When the fishes, they fly
 And the seas run dry
 It's then he'll marry me, he'll marry me
 Tis then he'll marry me
 Tis then he'll marry me
 Tis then he'll marry me
 ♪
 Ooh, ooh
 Ooh, ooh
 
 Aah, aah
 Ooh, ooh
