[Verse 1]
E
One evening fair to take the air
D A E
Down by blackwaterside
F#m G#m
And gazing all around me
D A E
This handsome lad I spied, spied
D A E
This handsome lad I spied
[Verse 2]
E
All through the foremost part of the night
D A E
While we lay in sport and play
F#m
And this young man arose
G#m
And he gathered his clothes
D A E
He said, "Fair thee well today"
D A E
He said, "Fair thee well today"
[Verse 3]
E
That's not the promise that you gave to me
D A E
When you first you lay on my breast
F#m G#m
You can make me believe with your lying tongue
D A E
That the sun rose in the west, the west
D A E
That the sun rose in the west

[Verse 4]
E
Then go home, go home to your father's garden
D A E
Go home and weep your fill
F#m G#m
And think of your own misfortune
D A E
That you brought with your wanton will
D A E
That you brought with your wanton will
[Verse 5]
E
There's not a girl in the whole wide world
D A E
More easily led than me
F#m G#m
When the fishes they fly and the seas run dry
D A E
'Tis then he'll marry me, he'll marry me
D A E
'Tis then he'll marry me
D A E
'Tis then he'll marry me
D A E
'Tis then he'll marry me
