Blackwater Side Songtext
von Liam Clancy

One morning fair, as I chanced the air
Down by black water side
Twas in gazing all around me
That an Irish girl I spied

All in the fore part of the night
They rolled in sport and play
Then this young man arose and he put on his clothes
Saying fare thee well today


That′s not the promise you made to me
When you lay upon my breast
You could make me believe with your lying tongue
That the sun rose in the west

Go home, go home to your father's garden
Go home and cry your fill
And think of the sad misfortune
I brought on with my wanton will

There′s not a flower in this whole world
As easily led as I
And when fishes can fly and seas do run dry
It is then that you'll marry I
