[Verse 1]
D#m C# Cb A#m
As I went out walking one morning in June
Cb A#m7 Cb C#
I spied a fair damsel in the sweet summer bloom
D#m A#m Cb A#m
Her cheeks they were rosy and her hair it fell down
G#m A#m Cb D#m
And she came from the Blackwater near sweet Portadown
[Verse 2]
D#m C# Cb A#m
I stood in amazement as the breezes did blow
G# A#m Cb C#
And the blood like a river through my veins did flow
D#m A#m Cb A#m
Well I thought her the fairest in all Ireland around
G#m A#m Cb D#m
That morning I met her near sweet Portadown
[Verse 3]
D#m C# Cb A#m
I says, "my wee lassie, I don’t know your name?"
D#m C# Cb C#
And quickly she answered, "I’m afflicted the same"
G# A#m Cb A#m
Well I said, "mine's O’Connor, but first Pat putdown (??)"
G# A#m Cb D#m
And she says, "mine's O’Driscoll from beside Portadown"
[Verse 4]
D#m A#m Cb A#m
I excused myself kindly, I said "if you please
D#m A#m Cb C#
We will both take a ramble by the Blackwater breeze"
D#m C# Cb A#m
Well she said, "you are kind sir, but I can’t go today
G#m A#m Cb D#m
For I’m in search of young lambs that have strayed away"
[Verse 5]
D#m A#m Cb A#m
I said, "I'll go with you, in search of your flock"
D#m A#m Cb C#
As the sun it did dazzle on her sweet amber locks
G#m A#m Cb A#m
Well we searched the whole day as the sun was going down
G# A#m Cb D#m
And at length we located them near sweet Portadown
[Verse 6]
D#m A#m Cb A#m
As we journeyed on homewards, we sat down for to rest
G#m A#m Cb C#
As we watched the rock thrushes on the Blackwaters crest
G#m A#m Cb A#m
Well I told her I loved her, and would she be my bride?
G# A#m Cb D#m
And we both would live happy by the Black-waterside
[Verse 7]
D#m A#m Cb A#m
She says, "you are kind sir, but you must me excuse
D#m A#m G# C#
For I am a poor girl and you must be refused
D#m A#m Cb A#m
I work hard for my living, the whole year around
G#m A#m Cb D#m
And besides I would never leave sweet Portadown"
[Verse 8]
D#m A#m Cb A#m
I would never expect you leave the land of your birth
G#m A#m G# C#
For I think it the grandest and fairest on earth
D#m A#m Cb A#m
But if you’ll consent for to be my fond bride
G#m A#m Cb D#m
We both would live happy by the Black-waterside
[Verse 9]
D#m A#m Cb A#m
We went to her parents, they considered awhile
G#m A#m Cb C#
Her mother looked on me and said she with a smile
G# A#m Cb A#m
"If Flora consents, sure we’ll consent too"
G#m A#m Cb D#m
And married we were on the 18th of June
[Verse 10]
D#m A#m Cb A#m
So come all ye young maidens, assemble tonight
G#m A#m Cb C#
And marry your first love, even though at first sight
G#m A#m Cb A#m
Don’t marry for riches or fame or renown
G#m A#m Cb D#m
For we're living happy in sweet Portadown
