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