One evenin', for pleasure, I rambled to view

The fair fields all alone,

Down by the banks of Loch Erin,

Where beauty and pleasure were known.

Which caused me to stay for a while,

And I thought of this goddess of beauty,

Bloomin' bright star of Belle Isle.

I humbled my self to her beauty.

"fair maiden where do you belong?
Am Em
Are you from heaven descended,
F G7
A biding in Cupid's fair throne?"
Am Em
"young man i will tell you a secret.

It's true I'm a maid that is poor

And to part from my vows and my promise,

That's more then my heart can endure."

"there fore, I remain at my service,

And go through all my hard ship and toil,

And wait for the lad that has left me

All alone on the banks of Belle Isle."

C Am Em
"Young maiden, I wish not to banter.

'Tis true I come here in disguise.

And hope to give you a surprise."

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

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