[F#]
[G#]
[C#] [F#] [C#]
[F#] One morning fell [C#] [F#]
to take the
[C#] air [F#]
[G#] down by [B] Blackwater [C#] side
[F#] [G#] T 'was in
[F#] [G#] Gaisinghall, [F#]
all around [G#] me
[F#] [G#m] T [E]'was the [F#] Irish lad I [G#m] spied
[F#] [G#] [C#]
[F#] [C#] All through [F#] the Thorp Hotel
Well [C#]
[F#] [B] we lay in [F#] sport and [G#] play
[F#]
[B] Then [F#] this young
[B] [C#] man [F#] he arose
[C#] And [F#]
he gathered his [B] clothes
[C#] [F#]
[B] He [E] said, [B]
fairly well today
[F#] Well [G#m] [F#]
that's not the promise that you gave to [C#] me
[F#] When [E] first [F#] you lay on my [B] bed
[C#] [F#]
You [G#]
could make me [F#] believe
[C#]
[F#] With your [C#] [F#] lying tongue
That [G#] [E] the sun [B] rose in [F#] the west
[C#] [F#]
Then go home, go home
[C#] [F#]
To your father's garden
[C#] [F#]
You [C#m] go [F#] home and weep your [B] fill
[C#] [F#] And
[C#] you [F#] think [C#] of [F#] your own
[C#] [F#] Misfortune
That [E] you brought with [B] your [F#] wanton [G#] will
[F#]
[G#] For there's [C#] not [F#] a girl
[C#] In [F#] this hall
[C#] [F#]
[G#] As easily [F#] led as [B] I
[C#]
[F#] [G#m] Sure it's [F#] fish as they'll [C#] fly
[F#] [C#]
And [F#] the seas run dry
[E] Says then hill [F#] Maria
[G#] [F#] [G#]
[F#] [G#m] [F#]
[E] [F#]
