[Verse 1]

            D

One evening fair to take the air

     C       G    D

Down by blackwaterside

          Em         D

And gazing all around me

     C        G     D

This handsome lad I spied, spied

     C        G     D

This handsome lad I spied

 

 

[Verse 2]

                D

All through the foremost part of the night

         C      G         D

While we lay in sport and play

                    Em

And this young man arose

                    D

And he gathered his clothes

         C          G    D

He said, "Fair thee well today"

         C          G    D

He said, "Fair thee well today"

 

 

[Verse 3]

               D

That's not the promise that you gave to me

         C             G     D

When you first you lay on my breast

                Em                     D

You can make me believe with your lying tongue

         C        G      D

That the sun rose in the west, the west

         C        G      D

That the sun rose in the west

[Verse 4]

                 D

Then go home, go home to your father's garden

   C        G         D

Go home and weep your fill

                  Em         D

And think of your own misfortune

         C                 G      D

That you brought with your wanton will

         C                 G      D

That you brought with your wanton will

 

 

[Verse 5]

              D

There's not a girl in the whole wide world

     C      G        D

More easily led than me

                     Em                  D

When the fishes they fly and the seas run dry

     C          G     D

'Tis then he'll marry me, he'll marry me

     C          G     D

'Tis then he'll marry me

     C          G     D

'Tis then he'll marry me

     C          G     D

'Tis then he'll marry me
