Blackwaterside Lyrics by Oysterband

This House Will Stand: The Best of Oysterband (1998-2015)

0

[Verse 1]
One evening fair I took the air
Down by Blackwaterside
And in gazing all around me
It was the Irish girl I spied

[Verse 2]
All the first part of the night
We roamed in sport and play
Then this young man arose, put on his clothes
And he said fare you well the day

[Verse 3]
That's not the promise you made to me
When you lay upon my breast
You made me believe with your lying tongue
That the sun rose in the west

[Verse 4]
Go home, go home to your father's doorway
Go home and cry your fill
Till the seas run dry and the fish they fly
And the streams of your life are still
