John Riley 
==========
Fair young maid all in a garden
Strange young man, passerby
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 seas.
He's been gone for seven years
Still no man shall marry me."

"What if he's in some battle slain,
Or drownded in the deep salt sea?
What if he's found another love,
And he and his love both married be?"

"If he's in some battle slain
I will die when the moon doth wane.
If he's drownded 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 wish them health and happiness
To where they dwell across the sea."

He picked her up all in his arms
And kisses gave her, one, two, three.
Saying "Weep no more, my own true love,
I am your long lost John Riley."
