| Fair young maid all in her garden | |
| Strange young man came riding by | |
| Saying, \"Fair young 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 the deep salt sea | |
| Though he's been gone these seven years | |
| Still no man shall marry me\" | |
| \"What if he's died, all in some battle slain? | |
| Or if he's drownded in the deep salt sea? | |
| What if he's found some other love | |
| He and his love both married be?\" | |
| \"If he's found some other love | |
| He and his new love both married be | |
| I wish them health and happiness | |
| Where they now dwell far across the sea\" | |
| He picked her up all in his arms | |
| And kisses gave her one, two, and three | |
| Saying, \"Weep no more, my own true love | |
| I am your long-lost John Riley\" | |
| Saying, \"Weep no more, my own true love | |
| For I'm your long-lost John Riley\" |
