Blackwaterside Ft Eric D Johnson Josh Kaufman Anais Mitchell - Bonny Light Horseman Lyrics

[Verse 1]
One evening fair to take the air
Down by blackwaterside
And gazing all around me
This handsome lad I spied, spied
This handsome lad I spied

[Verse 2]
All through the foremost part of the night
While we lay in sport and play
And this young man arose
And he gathered his clothes
He said, "Fair thee well today"
He said, "Fair thee well today"

[Verse 3]
That's not the promise that you gave to me
When you first you lay on my breast
You can make me believe with your lying tongue
That the sun rose in the west, the west
That the sun rose in the west

[Verse 4]
Then go home, go home to your father's garden
Go home and weep your fill
And think of your own misfortune
That you brought with your own want and will
That you brought with your own want and will

[Verse 5]
There's not a girl in the whole wide world
More easily led than me
When the fishes they fly and the seas run dry
'Tis then he'll marry me, he'll marry me
'Tis then he'll marry me
'Tis then he'll marry me
'Tis then he'll marry me
