C F One evenin' for pleasure I rambled to view C G C the fair fields all alone C F Down by the banks of Loch Erin G C Where beauty an' pleasure were known Am Em I spied a fair maid at her labor Am G Which caused me to stay for a while C Am Em An' I thought of a goddess of beauty F Fm C Bloomin' bright star of Bright Isle. C Am Em I humbled myself to her beauty F G C "Fair maiden where do you belong? C Am Em Are you from heaven descended Dm F G7 Abidin' in Cupid's fair throne." Am Em "Young man I will tell you a secret Am Em It's true I'm a maid that is poor C Am And to part from my vows and my promise F Fm Is more that my heart can endure. C G/B Am Therefore I'll remain at my service Em G And go through all my hardship and toil C G/B Am And wait for the lad that has left me F G C All alone on the banks of Belle Isle." C Am Em "Young maiden I wish not to banter F G C 'T'is true I've come here in disguise C G/B Am I came here to fulfill our last promise Dm G An' hoped to give you a surprise Am G I own you're a maid I love dearly Am Em G An' you've been in my heart all the while C G/B Am For me there is no other damsel F G C Than my bloomin' bright star of Belle Isle."
