[Intro}
Dm C Bb Am (2x)
[Verse 1]
Dm C Bb Am
As I went out walking one morning in June
Bb Am7 Bb C
I spied a fair damsel in the sweet summer bloom
Dm Am Bb Am
Her cheeks they were rosy and her hair it fell down
Gm Am Bb Dm
And she came from the Blackwater near sweet Portadown
[Verse 2]
Dm C Bb Am
I stood in amazement as the breezes did blow
G Am Bb C
And the blood like a river through my veins did flow
Dm Am Bb Am
Well I thought her the fairest in all Ireland around
Gm Am Bb Dm
That morning I met her near sweet Portadown
[Verse 3]
Dm C Bb Am
I says, "my wee lassie, I don’t know your name?"
Dm C Bb C
And quickly she answered, "I’m afflicted the same"
G Am Bb Am
Well I said, "mine's O’Connor, but first Pat putdown (??)"
G Am Bb Dm
And she says, "mine's O’Driscoll from beside Portadown"
[Verse 4]
Dm Am Bb Am
I excused myself kindly, I said "if you please
Dm Am Bb C
We will both take a ramble by the Blackwater breeze"
Dm C Bb Am
Well she said, "you are kind sir, but I can’t go today
Gm Am Bb Dm
For I’m in search of young lambs that have strayed away"
[Verse 5]
Dm Am Bb Am
I said, "I'll go with you, in search of your flock"
Dm Am Bb C
As the sun it did dazzle on her sweet amber locks
Gm Am Bb Am
Well we searched the whole day as the sun was going down
G Am Bb Dm
And at length we located them near sweet Portadown
[Verse 6]
Dm Am Bb Am
As we journeyed on homewards, we sat down for to rest
Gm Am Bb C
As we watched the rock thrushes on the Blackwaters crest
Gm Am Bb Am
Well I told her I loved her, and would she be my bride?
G Am Bb Dm
And we both would live happy by the Black-waterside
[Verse 7]
Dm Am Bb Am
She says, "you are kind sir, but you must me excuse
Dm Am G C
For I am a poor girl and you must be refused
Dm Am Bb Am
I work hard for my living, the whole year around
Gm Am Bb Dm
And besides I would never leave sweet Portadown"
[Verse 8]
Dm Am Bb Am
I would never expect you leave the land of your birth
Gm Am G C
For I think it the grandest and fairest on earth
Dm Am Bb Am
But if you’ll consent for to be my fond bride
Gm Am Bb Dm
We both would live happy by the Black-waterside
[Verse 9]
Dm Am Bb Am
We went to her parents, they considered awhile
Gm Am Bb C
Her mother looked on me and said she with a smile
G Am Bb Am
"If Flora consents, sure we’ll consent too"
Gm Am Bb Dm
And married we were on the 18th of June
[Verse 10]
Dm Am Bb Am
So come all ye young maidens, assemble tonight
Gm Am Bb C
And marry your first love, even though at first sight
Gm Am Bb Am
Don’t marry for riches or fame or renown
Gm Am Bb Dm
For we're living happy in sweet Portadown
