Intro
Dm C A# Am (2x)
[Verse 1]
Dm C A# Am
As I went out walking one morning in June
A# Am7 A# C
I spied a fair damsel in the sweet summer bloom
Dm Am A# Am
Her cheeks they were rosy and her hair it fell down
Gm Am A# Dm
And she came from the Blackwater near sweet Portadown
[Verse 2]
Dm C A# Am
I stood in amazement as the breezes did blow
G Am A# C
And the blood like a river through my veins did flow
Dm Am A# Am
Well I thought her the fairest in all Ireland around
Gm Am A# Dm
That morning I met her near sweet Portadown
[Verse 3]
Dm C A# Am
I says, "my wee lassie, I don’t know your name?"
Dm C A# C
And quickly she answered, "I’m afflicted the same"
G Am A# Am
Well I said, "mine's O’Connor, but first Pat putdown (??)"
G Am A# Dm
And she says, "mine's O’Driscoll from beside Portadown"
[Verse 4]
Dm Am A# Am
I excused myself kindly, I said "if you please
Dm Am A# C
We will both take a ramble by the Blackwater breeze"
Dm C A# Am
Well she said, "you are kind sir, but I can’t go today
Gm Am A# Dm
For I’m in search of young lambs that have strayed away"
[Verse 5]
Dm Am A# Am
I said, "I'll go with you, in search of your flock"
Dm Am A# C
As the sun it did dazzle on her sweet amber locks
Gm Am A# Am
Well we searched the whole day as the sun was going down
G Am A# Dm
And at length we located them near sweet Portadown
[Verse 6]
Dm Am A# Am
As we journeyed on homewards, we sat down for to rest
Gm Am A# C
As we watched the rock thrushes on the Blackwaters crest
Gm Am A# Am
Well I told her I loved her, and would she be my bride?
G Am A# Dm
And we both would live happy by the Black-waterside
[Verse 7]
Dm Am A# Am
She says, "you are kind sir, but you must me excuse
Dm Am G C
For I am a poor girl and you must be refused
Dm Am A# Am
I work hard for my living, the whole year around
Gm Am A# Dm
And besides I would never leave sweet Portadown"
[Verse 8]
Dm Am A# Am
I would never expect you leave the land of your birth
Gm Am G C
For I think it the grandest and fairest on earth
Dm Am A# Am
But if you’ll consent for to be my fond bride
Gm Am A# Dm
We both would live happy by the Black-waterside
[Verse 9]
Dm Am A# Am
We went to her parents, they considered awhile
Gm Am A# C
Her mother looked on me and said she with a smile
G Am A# Am
"If Flora consents, sure we’ll consent too"
Gm Am A# Dm
And married we were on the 18th of June
[Verse 10]
Dm Am A# Am
So come all ye young maidens, assemble tonight
Gm Am A# C
And marry your first love, even though at first sight
Gm Am A# Am
Don’t marry for riches or fame or renown
Gm Am A# Dm
For we're living happy in sweet Portadown
