Blackwater Side

One morning fair I took the air
Down by blackwater side
'Twas gazing all around me
The Irish lad I spied

Blackwater side, blackwater side

That's not the promise you gave to me
When you first lay on my breast
You'd make me believe beside the sea
The sun rose in the West

Well, then go home to your father's soon
Go home and weep your fill
And think on your own misfortune
That you've brought with your want and will

Blackwater side, blackwater side
Blackwater side, blackwater side
Blackwater side, blackwater side
Blackwater side, blackwater side

All through the fore part of the night
We lay in sport and play
Sure it's fishes they'll fly and the seas run dry
Till then you'll marry I

Blackwater side, blackwater side
Blackwater side, blackwater side
