Gm F Eb Dm (2x)
[Verse 1]
Gm F Eb Dm
As I went out walking one morning in June
Eb Dm7 Eb F
I spied a fair damsel in the sweet summer bloom
Gm Dm Eb Dm
Her cheeks they were rosy and her hair it fell down
Cm Dm Eb Gm
And she came from the Blackwater near sweet Portadown
[Verse 2]
Gm F Eb Dm
I stood in amazement as the breezes did blow
C Dm Eb F
And the blood like a river through my veins did flow
Gm Dm Eb Dm
Well I thought her the fairest in all Ireland around
Cm Dm Eb Gm
That morning I met her near sweet Portadown
[Verse 3]
Gm F Eb Dm
I says, "my wee lassie, I don’t know your name?"
Gm F Eb F
And quickly she answered, "I’m afflicted the same"
C Dm Eb Dm
Well I said, "mine's O’Connor, but first Pat putdown (??)"
C Dm Eb Gm
And she says, "mine's O’Driscoll from beside Portadown"
[Verse 4]
Gm Dm Eb Dm
I excused myself kindly, I said "if you please
Gm Dm Eb F
We will both take a ramble by the Blackwater breeze"
Gm F Eb Dm
Well she said, "you are kind sir, but I can’t go today
Cm Dm Eb Gm
For I’m in search of young lambs that have strayed away"
[Verse 5]
Gm Dm Eb Dm
I said, "I'll go with you, in search of your flock"
Gm Dm Eb F
As the sun it did dazzle on her sweet amber locks
Cm Dm Eb Dm
Well we searched the whole day as the sun was going down
C Dm Eb Gm
And at length we located them near sweet Portadown
[Verse 6]
Gm Dm Eb Dm
As we journeyed on homewards, we sat down for to rest
Cm Dm Eb F
As we watched the rock thrushes on the Blackwaters crest
Cm Dm Eb Dm
Well I told her I loved her, and would she be my bride?
C Dm Eb Gm
And we both would live happy by the Black-waterside
[Verse 7]
Gm Dm Eb Dm
She says, "you are kind sir, but you must me excuse
Gm Dm C F
For I am a poor girl and you must be refused
Gm Dm Eb Dm
I work hard for my living, the whole year around
Cm Dm Eb Gm
And besides I would never leave sweet Portadown"
[Verse 8]
Gm Dm Eb Dm
I would never expect you leave the land of your birth
Cm Dm C F
For I think it the grandest and fairest on earth
Gm Dm Eb Dm
But if you’ll consent for to be my fond bride
Cm Dm Eb Gm
We both would live happy by the Black-waterside
[Verse 9]
Gm Dm Eb Dm
We went to her parents, they considered awhile
Cm Dm Eb F
Her mother looked on me and said she with a smile
C Dm Eb Dm
"If Flora consents, sure we’ll consent too"
Cm Dm Eb Gm
And married we were on the 18th of June
[Verse 10]
Gm Dm Eb Dm
So come all ye young maidens, assemble tonight
Cm Dm Eb F
And marry your first love, even though at first sight
Cm Dm Eb Dm
Don’t marry for riches or fame or renown
Cm Dm Eb Gm
For we're living happy in sweet Portadown
