John Riley (Live) - Odetta
Was a maid in a garden
Strange young man came riding by
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 along the sea
He's been gone for seven years
Still he will return to me "
"What if he's in some battle slain
Or drownded in the deep salt sea
Or what if he's found another love
He and his love both married be "
"If he's in some battle slain
Then I shall die when the moon doth wain
And if he's drownded in the deep salt sea
I am 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 live across the sea "
Well he picked her up in his arms so strong
And kisses gave her one two three
Saying "Come my love come with me
I am your long lost John Riley "
Saying "Come my love come to me
I'm your long lost John Riley "
