[00:05.397] A fair young maid was in her garden
[00:14.048] Strange young man came riding by
[00:20.592] He said fair maid, will you marry me?
[00:27.865] And this answer was her reply
[00:35.664] Oh no kind sir I cannot marry thee
[00:43.587] For I've a love and he sails the sea
[00:50.576] And though he's been gone for seven years
[00:58.167] Still he will return to me
[01:05.837] Well, what if he's in some battle slain
[01:12.665] Or if he's been drowned in the deep salt sea
[01:20.503] Or if he's found another love
[01:28.145] And he and his love both married be
[01:35.987] If he's in some battle slain
[01:44.357] Then I shall die when the moon doth wane
[01:51.768] And if he's drowned in the deep salt sea
[01:58.895] Still I'm true to his memory
[02:06.092] And if he's found another love
[02:13.953] And he and his love both married be
[02:21.144] I wish them health and happiness
[02:28.747] Where they live across the sea
[02:35.722] He picked her up in his arms so strong
[02:43.870] And kisses he gave her one two three
[02:51.077] Said weep no more my own true love
[02:58.901] I am your long lost John Riley
[03:06.696] Said weep no more my own true love
[03:14.527] I am your long lost John Riley
