Lyrics

[Verse 1]
One morning fair, I took the air
Down by Blackwaterslide
'Twas gazing all, all around me
The Irish lad I spied
[Verse 2]
All through the fore part of the night
We lay in sport and play
Till this young man arose and gathered his clothes
Sayin' fare thee well today
[Verse 3]
That's not the promise that you gave to me
When first you lay on my breast
You could make me believe with your lyin' tongue
That the sun rose in the West
[Verse 4]
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 want and will
[Verse 5]
One morning fair, I took the air
Down by Blackwaterslide
'Twas gazing all, all around me
The Irish lad I spied
Written by: Bert Jansch, [traditional]
