One evening for pleasure I rambled to view
C

The fair fields all alone
C

Down by the banks of Loch Erin
G

Where beauty and pleasure were known.

I spied a fair maid at her labor
Am

Which caused me to stay for a while
C

Em
And I thought of a goddess to beauty
F

Bloomin' bright star of Bright Isle.

I humbled myself to her beauty

"Fair maiden, where do you belong?
C
Am Em
Are you from heaven descended
Dm

Abiding 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

And to part from my vows and my promise

Is more than my heart can endure.
C
Em

Therefore I remain at my service
Em

And go through all my hardship and toil

And wait for the lad that has left me
F

All alone on the banks of Belle Isle."
C
Am
Em
"Young maiden I wish not to banter
F

'Tis true I come here in disguise
C Em
Am
I came here to fulfill our last promise
Dm

And hope to give you a surprise.

I've known you're a maid I love dearly
Am Em

And you've been in my heart all the while
C

For me there is no other damsel
F
G
C
Than my bloomin' bright star of Belle Isle."
