Sung by Joan Baez on Joan Baez [first album].
Fair young maid all in the garden
Strange young man passerby
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 seas
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
I will die when the moon doth wane
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 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
Saying weep no more, my own true love
I'm your long lost John Riley
Saying weep no more, my own true love
I'm your long lost John Riley
A 'broken token' song. Unrelated songs: John Reilly and Bold Riley.
