[00:17.98] | This pretty young maid |
[00:22.97] | I seek far and wide |
[00:27.18] | My heartache each morn |
[00:31.08] | with her I don't meet |
[00:36.12] | when I go to the bar |
[00:40.05] | the dance hall or fete |
[00:44.57] | But I'd follow her trail |
[00:48.58] | in the dead of the night |
[00:53.06] | Now you're the young man |
[00:58.01] | that travels afar |
[01:02.53] | Find me a gem |
[01:06.32] | I can have as my wife |
[01:11.18] | Never yearn or pine |
[01:15.89] | for flocks or for kine |
[01:20.38] | And I'll conjure plan |
[01:24.67] | that will charm her life |
[01:29.37] | |
[01:37.78] | Have her youthful and fair |
[01:42.60] | with no worry or care |
[01:47.37] | Patient and wise |
[01:51.24] | in affairs of all kind |
[01:56.70] | Modest and mild |
[02:00.84] | without too much pride |
[02:05.30] | That is my love |
[02:09.19] | if she hadn't a dime |
[02:13.56] | Now you're the young man |
[02:18.17] | that travels afar |
[02:22.87] | Find me a gem |
[02:26.47] | I can have as my wife |
[02:31.70] | Never yearn or pine |
[02:36.42] | for flocks or for kine |
[02:40.84] | And I'll conjure plan |
[02:45.37] | that will charm her life |
[02:49.73] | |
[03:07.90] | Let no blemish or shame |
[03:12.55] | be attached to her name |
[03:17.27] | Honest in heart |
[03:21.11] | and gentle in mien |
[03:26.40] | No hatred or vice |
[03:30.55] | to be heard in her voice |
[03:35.43] | But cheerful and smiling |
[03:41.01] | from morning 'til night |
[03:44.71] | Now you're the young man |
[03:49.61] | that travels afar |
[03:54.25] | Find me a gem |
[03:58.01] | I can have as my wife |
[04:03.25] | Never yearn or pine |
[04:07.31] | for flocks or for kine |
[04:11.97] | And I'll conjure plan |
[04:16.32] | that will charm her life |
[04:21.62] | |
[04:25.72] | And I'll charm her life |
