John Riley - Joan Baez
Fair young maid all in a garden
Strange 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 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
Said weep no more my own true love
I am your long lost John Riley
