One evening fair To take the air Down by Blackwaterside And gazing all around me This handsome lad I spied, spied This handsome lad I spied All through the first part of the night While we lay in sport and play And this young man arose And he gathered his clothes He said, "Fare thee well today" He said, "Fare thee well today" That's not the promise That you gave to me When first you lay on my breast You can make me believe With your lying tongue That the sun rose in the west, the west That the sun rose in the west Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh Then go home, go home To your father's garden Go home and weep your fill And think of your own misfortune That you brought with your wanton will That you brought with your wanton will There's not a girl In the whole wide world More easily led than me When the fishes, they fly And the seas run dry It's then he'll marry me, he'll marry me Tis then he'll marry me Tis then he'll marry me Tis then he'll marry me Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh Aah, aah Ooh, ooh
