31 One evenin' for pleasure
33 I rambled to view the fair fields all alone
35 Down by the banks of Loch Erin
37 Where beauty an' pleasure were known
39 I spied a fair maid at her labor
41 Which caused me to stay for a while
43 An' I thought of a goddess of beauty
45 Bloomin' bright star of Bright Isle.
48 I humbled myself to her beauty
50 "Fair maiden where do you belong?
52 Are you from heaven descended
54 Abidin' in Cupid's fair throne.
"
56 "Young man I will tell you a secret
58 It's true I'm a maid that is poor
60 And to part from my vows and my promise
62 Is more that my heart can endure.
64 Therefore I'll remain at my service
66 And go through all my hardship and toil
68 And wait for the lad that has left me
70 All alone on the banks of Belle Isle.

75 "Young maiden I wish not to banter
77 'T'is true I've come here in disguise
79 I came here to fulfill our last promise
81 An' hoped to give you a surprise
83 I own you're a maid I love dearly
85 An' you've been in my heart all the while
87 For me there is no other damsel
89 Than my bloomin' bright star of Belle Isle.
