[Verse 1]
A#m G# Gb Fm
As I went out walking one morning in June
Gb Fm7 Gb G#
I spied a fair damsel in the sweet summer bloom
A#m Fm Gb Fm
Her cheeks they were rosy and her hair it fell down
D#m Fm Gb A#m
And she came from the Blackwater near sweet Portadown
[Verse 2]
A#m G# Gb Fm
I stood in amazement as the breezes did blow
D# Fm Gb G#
And the blood like a river through my veins did flow
A#m Fm Gb Fm
Well I thought her the fairest in all Ireland around
D#m Fm Gb A#m
That morning I met her near sweet Portadown
[Verse 3]
A#m G# Gb Fm
I says, "my wee lassie, I don’t know your name?"
A#m G# Gb G#
And quickly she answered, "I’m afflicted the same"
D# Fm Gb Fm
Well I said, "mine's O’Connor, but first Pat putdown (??)"
D# Fm Gb A#m
And she says, "mine's O’Driscoll from beside Portadown"
[Verse 4]
A#m Fm Gb Fm
I excused myself kindly, I said "if you please
A#m Fm Gb G#
We will both take a ramble by the Blackwater breeze"
A#m G# Gb Fm
Well she said, "you are kind sir, but I can’t go today
D#m Fm Gb A#m
For I’m in search of young lambs that have strayed away"
[Verse 5]
A#m Fm Gb Fm
I said, "I'll go with you, in search of your flock"
A#m Fm Gb G#
As the sun it did dazzle on her sweet amber locks
D#m Fm Gb Fm
Well we searched the whole day as the sun was going down
D# Fm Gb A#m
And at length we located them near sweet Portadown
[Verse 6]
A#m Fm Gb Fm
As we journeyed on homewards, we sat down for to rest
D#m Fm Gb G#
As we watched the rock thrushes on the Blackwaters crest
D#m Fm Gb Fm
Well I told her I loved her, and would she be my bride?
D# Fm Gb A#m
And we both would live happy by the Black-waterside
[Verse 7]
A#m Fm Gb Fm
She says, "you are kind sir, but you must me excuse
A#m Fm D# G#
For I am a poor girl and you must be refused
A#m Fm Gb Fm
I work hard for my living, the whole year around
D#m Fm Gb A#m
And besides I would never leave sweet Portadown"
[Verse 8]
A#m Fm Gb Fm
I would never expect you leave the land of your birth
D#m Fm D# G#
For I think it the grandest and fairest on earth
A#m Fm Gb Fm
But if you’ll consent for to be my fond bride
D#m Fm Gb A#m
We both would live happy by the Black-waterside
[Verse 9]
A#m Fm Gb Fm
We went to her parents, they considered awhile
D#m Fm Gb G#
Her mother looked on me and said she with a smile
D# Fm Gb Fm
"If Flora consents, sure we’ll consent too"
D#m Fm Gb A#m
And married we were on the 18th of June
[Verse 10]
A#m Fm Gb Fm
So come all ye young maidens, assemble tonight
D#m Fm Gb G#
And marry your first love, even though at first sight
D#m Fm Gb Fm
Don’t marry for riches or fame or renown
D#m Fm Gb A#m
For we're living happy in sweet Portadown
