(B. Gibson and R. Neff) | |
Fair young maid all in her garden | |
Strange young man came riding by | |
Saying fair young maid will you marry me | |
And this then sir was her reply | |
Oh, no kind sir | |
I cannot marry thee | |
For I've a love who sails the deep salt sea | |
Though he's been gone these seven years | |
Still no man shall marry me | |
What if he's died all in some battle slain | |
Or if he's drownded in the deep salt sea | |
What if he's found some another love | |
He and his new love both married be | |
If he's found some other love | |
He and his new love both married be | |
I wish them health and happiness | |
Where they now live all across the sea | |
He picked her up all in his arms | |
And kisses gave her one two and three | |
Saying weep no more my own true love | |
I am your long lost | |
John Riley | |
Saying weep no more my own true love | |
For I'm your long lost | |
