| lyric | One morning fair. As I chanced the air
Down by Black water side,
’Twas in gazing all around me
That an Irish girl I spied.
""All in the fore part of the night
They rolled in sport and play,
Then this young man arose and he put on his clothes,
Saying ""Far thee well today. ""
""That's not the promise you made to me
When you lay upon my breast;
Yon enuid; make me believe with your lying tongue
That the sun rose in the West.
""Go home, go home to your father's garden,
Go home and cry your fill;
And think of the sad misfortune
I brought on with my wanton will.""
""There's not a flower in this whole world
As easily led as I;
And when fishes can fly and seas do run dry,
It is then that you'll marry I."" |
