[Verse 1]
Cm A# Ab Gm
As I went out walking one morning in June
Ab Gm7 Ab A#
I spied a fair damsel in the sweet summer bloom
Cm Gm Ab Gm
Her cheeks they were rosy and her hair it fell down
Fm Gm Ab Cm
And she came from the Blackwater near sweet Portadown
[Verse 2]
Cm A# Ab Gm
I stood in amazement as the breezes did blow
F Gm Ab A#
And the blood like a river through my veins did flow
Cm Gm Ab Gm
Well I thought her the fairest in all Ireland around
Fm Gm Ab Cm
That morning I met her near sweet Portadown
[Verse 3]
Cm A# Ab Gm
I says, "my wee lassie, I don’t know your name?"
Cm A# Ab A#
And quickly she answered, "I’m afflicted the same"
F Gm Ab Gm
Well I said, "mine's O’Connor, but first Pat putdown (??)"
F Gm Ab Cm
And she says, "mine's O’Driscoll from beside Portadown"
[Verse 4]
Cm Gm Ab Gm
I excused myself kindly, I said "if you please
Cm Gm Ab A#
We will both take a ramble by the Blackwater breeze"
Cm A# Ab Gm
Well she said, "you are kind sir, but I can’t go today
Fm Gm Ab Cm
For I’m in search of young lambs that have strayed away"
[Verse 5]
Cm Gm Ab Gm
I said, "I'll go with you, in search of your flock"
Cm Gm Ab A#
As the sun it did dazzle on her sweet amber locks
Fm Gm Ab Gm
Well we searched the whole day as the sun was going down
F Gm Ab Cm
And at length we located them near sweet Portadown
[Verse 6]
Cm Gm Ab Gm
As we journeyed on homewards, we sat down for to rest
Fm Gm Ab A#
As we watched the rock thrushes on the Blackwaters crest
Fm Gm Ab Gm
Well I told her I loved her, and would she be my bride?
F Gm Ab Cm
And we both would live happy by the Black-waterside
[Verse 7]
Cm Gm Ab Gm
She says, "you are kind sir, but you must me excuse
Cm Gm F A#
For I am a poor girl and you must be refused
Cm Gm Ab Gm
I work hard for my living, the whole year around
Fm Gm Ab Cm
And besides I would never leave sweet Portadown"
[Verse 8]
Cm Gm Ab Gm
I would never expect you leave the land of your birth
Fm Gm F A#
For I think it the grandest and fairest on earth
Cm Gm Ab Gm
But if you’ll consent for to be my fond bride
Fm Gm Ab Cm
We both would live happy by the Black-waterside
[Verse 9]
Cm Gm Ab Gm
We went to her parents, they considered awhile
Fm Gm Ab A#
Her mother looked on me and said she with a smile
F Gm Ab Gm
"If Flora consents, sure we’ll consent too"
Fm Gm Ab Cm
And married we were on the 18th of June
[Verse 10]
Cm Gm Ab Gm
So come all ye young maidens, assemble tonight
Fm Gm Ab A#
And marry your first love, even though at first sight
Fm Gm Ab Gm
Don’t marry for riches or fame or renown
Fm Gm Ab Cm
For we're living happy in sweet Portadown
