(B. Gibson and R. Neff)  Fair young maid all in her garden  Strange young man came riding by  Saying fair young maid will you marry me  And 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 another love  He and his new 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 live all 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  © BMI
