Bm Em
Oh, as I roved out one bright summer's morn

Down by Blackwaterside

I'd be gazing on the flowers that did bloom all around
Em Bm C
When a pretty Irish girl I spied
G D C D
Oh, 'twas red and rosy was her cheeks
Em Bm A
Golden yellow was her hair
Em Bm Em
As I clasped her by the lily-white hand
G Am C G D
And I said, "My young sweetheart fair"

[Verse 2]

There be many a good man's daughter
G C G
Going around from town to town
Em D C D
There be many a good man's daughter with
Em Bm C
Her hair all hanging down
G D C D
They'll be rocking the cradles the whole day long
Em Bm A
Singing, "Low-la, low-la, low"

Was there ever a poor and a misfortunate girl
G C G
Was as easily led as you?
