John Riley

歌詞

A fair young maid was in her garden Strange young man came riding by He said fair maid, will you marry me? And this answer was her reply Oh no kind sir I cannot marry thee For I've a love and he sails the sea And though he's been gone for seven years Still he will return to me Well, what if he's in some battle slain Or if he's been drowned in the deep salt sea Or if he's found another love And he and his love both married be If he's in some battle slain Then I shall die when the moon doth wane And if he's drowned in the deep salt sea Still I'm true to his memory And if he's found another love And he and his love both married be I wish them health and happiness Where they live across the sea He picked her up in his arms so strong And kisses he 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
