One morning fair I took the air |
|
Down by Blackwater side |
|
'twas in gazing all, all around me |
|
The Irish lad I spied |
|
All through the far part of the night |
|
We lay in sport and play |
|
Till this young man arose and gathered his clothes |
|
Saying fare-thee-well today |
|
That's not the promise that you gave to me |
|
When first you lay on my breast |
|
You could make me believe with your lying tongue |
|
That the sun rose in the West |
|
Well then go home to your father's garden |
|
Go home and weep your fill |
|
And think on your own misfortune |
|
That you've brought with your wanton will |
