Intro
Am G F Em (2x)
[Verse 1]
Am G F Em
As I went out walking one morning in June
F Em7 F G
I spied a fair damsel in the sweet summer bloom
Am Em F Em
Her cheeks they were rosy and her hair it fell down
Dm Em F Am
And she came from the Blackwater near sweet Portadown
[Verse 2]
Am G F Em
I stood in amazement as the breezes did blow
D Em F G
And the blood like a river through my veins did flow
Am Em F Em
Well I thought her the fairest in all Ireland around
Dm Em F Am
That morning I met her near sweet Portadown
[Verse 3]
Am G F Em
I says, "my wee lassie, I don’t know your name?"
Am G F G
And quickly she answered, "I’m afflicted the same"
D Em F Em
Well I said, "mine's O’Connor, but first Pat putdown (??)"
D Em F Am
And she says, "mine's O’Driscoll from beside Portadown"
[Verse 4]
Am Em F Em
I excused myself kindly, I said "if you please
Am Em F G
We will both take a ramble by the Blackwater breeze"
Am G F Em
Well she said, "you are kind sir, but I can’t go today
Dm Em F Am
For I’m in search of young lambs that have strayed away"
[Verse 5]
Am Em F Em
I said, "I'll go with you, in search of your flock"
Am Em F G
As the sun it did dazzle on her sweet amber locks
Dm Em F Em
Well we searched the whole day as the sun was going down
D Em F Am
And at length we located them near sweet Portadown
[Verse 6]
Am Em F Em
As we journeyed on homewards, we sat down for to rest
Dm Em F G
As we watched the rock thrushes on the Blackwaters crest
Dm Em F Em
Well I told her I loved her, and would she be my bride?
D Em F Am
And we both would live happy by the Black-waterside
[Verse 7]
Am Em F Em
She says, "you are kind sir, but you must me excuse
Am Em D G
For I am a poor girl and you must be refused
Am Em F Em
I work hard for my living, the whole year around
Dm Em F Am
And besides I would never leave sweet Portadown"
[Verse 8]
Am Em F Em
I would never expect you leave the land of your birth
Dm Em D G
For I think it the grandest and fairest on earth
Am Em F Em
But if you’ll consent for to be my fond bride
Dm Em F Am
We both would live happy by the Black-waterside
[Verse 9]
Am Em F Em
We went to her parents, they considered awhile
Dm Em F G
Her mother looked on me and said she with a smile
D Em F Em
"If Flora consents, sure we’ll consent too"
Dm Em F Am
And married we were on the 18th of June
[Verse 10]
Am Em F Em
So come all ye young maidens, assemble tonight
Dm Em F G
And marry your first love, even though at first sight
Dm Em F Em
Don’t marry for riches or fame or renown
Dm Em F Am
For we're living happy in sweet Portadown
