[Verse 1]
A#m D#m
Oh, as I roved out one bright summer's morn
F# B F#
Down by Blackwaterside
D#m C# B C#
I'd be gazing on the flowers that did bloom all around
D#m A#m B
When a pretty Irish girl I spied
F# C# B C#
Oh, 'twas red and rosy was her cheeks
D#m A#m G#
Golden yellow was her hair
D#m A#m D#m
As I clasped her by the lily-white hand
F# G#m B F# C#
And I said, "My young sweetheart fair"
[Verse 2]
D#m A#m D#m
There be many a good man's daughter
F# B F#
Going around from town to town
D#m C# B C#
There be many a good man's daughter with
D#m A#m B
Her hair all hanging down
F# C# B C#
They'll be rocking the cradles the whole day long
D#m A#m G#
Singing, "Low-la, low-la, low"
D#m A#m D#m
Was there ever a poor and a misfortunate girl
F# B F#
Was as easily led as you?

[Verse 3]
A#m D#m
Oh, that wasn't the promise you made to me
F# B F#
Down by Blackwaterside
D#m C# B C#
Ah, that wasn't the promise you made to me
D#m A#m B
When you asked me to be your bride
F# C# B C#
Ah, that wasn't the promise you made to me
D#m A#m G#
When you swore you'd be loyal and true
D#m A#m D#m
When the fishes fly and the seas run dry
F# B F#
I'll return and I'll marry you
[Outro]
