[00:07.38] Fair young maid all in a garden
[00:14.29] Strange young man, passerby
[00:21.24] Said, "Fair maid, will you marry me?"
[00:27.97] This then, sir, was her reply:
[00:38.32] Oh, no, kind sir, I cannot marry thee
[00:45.32] For I've a love who sails all on the sea.
[00:52.29] He's been gone for seven years
[00:59.34] Still no man shall marry me
[01:13.19] What if he's in some battle slain
[01:20.21] Or drownded in the deep salt sea
[01:26.76] What if he's found another love
[01:33.30] And he and his love both married be?
[01:47.66] If he's in some battle slain
[01:54.90] I will go and mourn all on his grave
[02:01.90] And if he's drowned in the deep salt sea
[02:09.38] I'll be true to his memory
[02:19.77] And if he's found another love
[02:26.69] And he and his love both married be
[02:33.55] I'll wish them health and happiness
[02:40.64] Where they dwell across the sea
[02:54.49] He picked her up all in his arms
[03:01.71] And kisses gave her: One, two, three
[03:08.21] Said, Weep no more, my own true love
[03:15.30] I am your long-lost John Riley!
[03:25.66] Said, Weep no more, my own true love
[03:33.14] I am your long-lost John Riley!
