- Down_by_Blackwaterside abstract "Down by Blackwaterside (also known as Blackwaterside, Blackwater Side and Black Waterside) is a traditional folk song, provenance and author unknown, although it is likely to have originated near the River Blackwater, Ulster. The song has been covered by numerous artists including Isla Cameron, Anne Briggs, Bert Jansch, Sandy Denny, Show of Hands, Oysterband, the Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem, particularly during the folk music boom in Britain in the 1960s. It tells the story of a woman who has her heart broken "down by Blackwaterside" when a suitor breaks his promise of marriage, although she still has hopes the suitor will change his mind one day.The best-known version is a 1952 BBC Archive recording by an Irish Traveller, Mary Doran. Belfast singer Winnie Ryan also performed a version, and was recorded by folklorists Peter Kennedy and Sean O'Boyle in 1952. Doran's version was taught to the singer Anne Briggs by A.L. Lloyd.; Anne Briggs in turn taught it to singer/guitarist Bert Jansch. It appears on Jansch's 1966 album Jack Orion as "Black Water Side."Early in 1965, Briggs and Jansch were performing regularly together in folk clubs and spent most of the daytime at a friend's flat, collaborating on new songs and the development of complex guitar accompaniments for traditional songs. Anne Briggs has noted that "Everybody up to that point was accompanying traditional songs in a very [...] three-chord way. [...] It was why I always sang unaccompanied [...] but seeing Bert's freedom from chords, I suddenly realised—this chord stuff, you don't need it." "Blackwaterside" was one of the first songs that they worked on. Briggs belatedly recorded the song on her eponymous 1971 album (by which time she was playing a guitar accompaniment), though Jansch had recorded it 5 years earlier on his 1966 Jack Orion album. It is not known when Jansch started singing the song in the folk clubs, but certainly before the recording of Jack Orion. The story of Jansch learning the tune from Briggs is retold in Ralph McTell's "A Kiss in the Rain."".
