[length: 02:58]
[00:07.69]Fair young maid all in her garden
[00:14.63]Strange young man came riding by
[00:21.42]Saying, “Fair young maid, will you marry me?”
[00:29.47]This then, sir, was her reply
[00:36.39]”Oh, no, kind sir, I cannot marry thee
[00:43.60]For I’ve a love who sails the deep salt sea
[00:50.91]Though he’s been gone these seven years
[00:58.22]Still no man shall marry me”
[01:05.72]”What if he’s died, all in some battle slain?
[01:12.90]Or if he’s drownded in the deep salt sea?
[01:20.19]What if he’s found some other love
[01:27.26]He and his new love both married be?”
[01:34.96]”If he’s found some other love
[01:42.04]He and his new love both married be
[01:49.21]I wish them health and happiness
[01:56.57]Where they now dwell far across the sea”
[02:03.81]He picked her up all in his arms
[02:11.12]And kisses gave her one, two, and three
[02:18.14]Saying, “Weep no more, my own true love
[02:25.44]I am your long-lost John Riley”
[02:32.41]Saying, “Weep no more, my own true love
[02:40.16]For I’m your long-lost John Riley”
