[Verse 1]
G C G
One evening fair to take the air
F C G
Down by Blackwaterside
C G C G
'Twas a-gazing all around me

That the Irish lad I spied

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

When you lay upon my breast
C G C G
You could make me believe with your lying words
F C G
That the sun rose in the west

Go home, go home to your father's garden

Go home and weep your fill
C G C G
And think on your own misfortune

You brought on with your wanton will

For there's not a girl in this whole wide world

As easily led as I
C G C G
And when fishes can fly and the seas run dry
F C G F G
It is then that you'll marry I
F C G
It is then that you'll marry I
