John Riley – Joan BaezBy Fair young maid all in a gardenStange young man, passerbyHe said, “Fair maid, will you marry me?”This then, sir, was her reply:Oh, no, kind sir, I cannot marry theeFor I’ve a love who sails all on the sea.He’s been gone for seven yearsStill no man shall marry meWhat if he’s in some battle slainOr if he’s drowned in the deep salt seaWhat if he’s found another loveAnd he and his love both married be?Well, if he’s in some battle slainI will die when the moon doth waneAnd if he’s drowned in the deep salt seaI’ll be true to his memoryAnd if he’s found another loveAnd he and his love both married beI’ll wish them health and happinessWhere they dwell across the seaHe picked her up all in his armsKisses gave her: One, two, threeSaid, weep no more, my own true loveI am your long-lost John Riley! www.pillowlyrics.com419786497975 88k 20
