John Riley
Lyricist:Bob Gibson, Ricky Neff
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?
If he's in some battle slain Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com I will go and mourn all on his grave 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 And kisses gave her one, two, three Said, we've no more, my own true love I am your long lost John Riley! Said, we've no more, my own true love I am your long lost John Riley!
