1
Fair young maid all in a garden
2
Stange young man, passerby
3
He said, "Fair maid, will you marry me?"
4
This then, sir, was her reply:
5
Oh, no, kind sir, I cannot marry thee
6
For I've a love who sails all on the sea.
7
He's been gone for seven years
8
Still no man shall marry me
9
What if he's in some battle slain
10
Or if he's drowned in the deep salt sea
11
What if he's found another love
12
And he and his love both married be?
13
Well, if he's in some battle slain
14
I will die when the moon doth wane
15
And if he's drowned in the deep salt sea
16
I'll be true to his memory
17
And if he's found another love
18
And he and his love both married be
19
I'll wish them health and happiness
20
Where they dwell across the sea
21
He picked her up all in his arms
22
Kisses gave her: One, two, three
23
Said, weep no more, my own true love
24
I am your long-lost John Riley!
Joan Baez - John Riley
