Em D C Bm (2x)
[Verse 1]
Em D C Bm
As I went out walking one morning in June
C Bm7 C D
I spied a fair damsel in the sweet summer bloom
Em Bm C Bm
Her cheeks they were rosy and her hair it fell down
Am Bm C Em
And she came from the Blackwater near sweet Portadown
[Verse 2]
Em D C Bm
I stood in amazement as the breezes did blow
A Bm C D
And the blood like a river through my veins did flow
Em Bm C Bm
Well I thought her the fairest in all Ireland around
Am Bm C Em
That morning I met her near sweet Portadown
[Verse 3]
Em D C Bm
I says, "my wee lassie, I don’t know your name?"
Em D C D
And quickly she answered, "I’m afflicted the same"
A Bm C Bm
Well I said, "mine's O’Connor, but first Pat putdown (??)"
A Bm C Em
And she says, "mine's O’Driscoll from beside Portadown"
[Verse 4]
Em Bm C Bm
I excused myself kindly, I said "if you please
Em Bm C D
We will both take a ramble by the Blackwater breeze"
Em D C Bm
Well she said, "you are kind sir, but I can’t go today
Am Bm C Em
For I’m in search of young lambs that have strayed away"
[Verse 5]
Em Bm C Bm
I said, "I'll go with you, in search of your flock"
Em Bm C D
As the sun it did dazzle on her sweet amber locks
Am Bm C Bm
Well we searched the whole day as the sun was going down
A Bm C Em
And at length we located them near sweet Portadown
[Verse 6]
Em Bm C Bm
As we journeyed on homewards, we sat down for to rest
Am Bm C D
As we watched the rock thrushes on the Blackwaters crest
Am Bm C Bm
Well I told her I loved her, and would she be my bride?
A Bm C Em
And we both would live happy by the Black-waterside
[Verse 7]
Em Bm C Bm
She says, "you are kind sir, but you must me excuse
Em Bm A D
For I am a poor girl and you must be refused
Em Bm C Bm
I work hard for my living, the whole year around
Am Bm C Em
And besides I would never leave sweet Portadown"
[Verse 8]
Em Bm C Bm
I would never expect you leave the land of your birth
Am Bm A D
For I think it the grandest and fairest on earth
Em Bm C Bm
But if you’ll consent for to be my fond bride
Am Bm C Em
We both would live happy by the Black-waterside
[Verse 9]
Em Bm C Bm
We went to her parents, they considered awhile
Am Bm C D
Her mother looked on me and said she with a smile
A Bm C Bm
"If Flora consents, sure we’ll consent too"
Am Bm C Em
And married we were on the 18th of June
[Verse 10]
Em Bm C Bm
So come all ye young maidens, assemble tonight
Am Bm C D
And marry your first love, even though at first sight
Am Bm C Bm
Don’t marry for riches or fame or renown
Am Bm C Em
For we're living happy in sweet Portadown
