Altan - Blackwaterside lyrics
One evening fair to take the air
 Down by Blackwaterside
 'Twas a-gazing all around me
 That the Irish lad I spied
 All through the far part of the night
 We did lie in sport and play
 When this young man arose and gathered his clothes
 Saying, "Fare thee well today"
 That's not the promise that you gave to me
 When you lay on my breast
 You could make me believe with your lying wordsAltan - Blackwaterside - http://motolyrics.com/altan/blackwaterside-lyrics.html
 That the sun rose in the west
 Go home, go home to your father's garden
 Go home and weep your fill
 And think on your own misfortune
 You brought on with your want and will
 For there's not a girl in this whole wide world
 As easily led as I
 And when fishes can fly and the seas run dry
 It is then that you'll marry I
 It is then that you'll marry I
