  • Fair young maid all in a garden
    Stange young man, passerby
    He said, "Fair maid, will you marry me?"
    This then, sir, was her reply:

    Oh, no, kind sir, I cannot marry thee
    For I've a love who sails all on the sea.
    He's been gone for seven years
    Still no man shall marry me

    What if he's in some battle slain
    Or if he's drowned in the deep salt sea
    What if he's found another love
    And he and his love both married be?

    Well, if he's in some battle slain
    I will die when the moon doth wane
    And if he's drowned in the deep salt sea
    I'll be true to his memory

    And if he's found another love
    And he and his love both married be
    I'll wish them health and happiness
    Where they dwell across the sea

    He picked her up all in his arms
    Kisses gave her: One, two, three
    Said, weep no more, my own true love
    I am your long-lost John Riley!
