One evening fair to take the air
C G D
Down by Blackwaterside
G D G D
'Twas a-gazing all around me
C G D
That the Irish lad I spied
[Verse 2]

All through the part of dark the night

We did lie in sport and play

When this young man arose and gathered his clothes
C G D
Saying, "Fare thee well today"
[Verse 3]

That's not the promise that you gave to me
C G D
When you lay upon my breast
G D G D
You could make me believe with your lying words
C G D
That the sun rose in the west

Go home, go home to your father's garden
C G D
Go home and weep your fill
G D G D
And think on your own misfortune

You brought on with your wanton will
[Verse 5]

For there's not a girl in this whole wide world
C G D
As easily led as I
G D G D
And when fishes can fly and the seas run dry
C G D C D
It is then that you'll marry I
C G D
It is then that you'll marry I
