Dm G Dm

Fair young maid all in her garden

Dm G Dm

Strange young man came riding by

F Em C

Saying fair young maid will you marry me

Em Dm

And this then sir was her reply

Dm G Dm

Oh no kind sir I cannot marry thee

G Dm

For I've a love who sails the deep salt sea

F Em C

Though he's been gone these seven years

Em Dm

Still no man shall marry me

Dm G Dm

What if he's died all in some battle slain

G Dm

Or if he's drownded in the deep salt sea

F Em C

What if he's found some another love

Em Dm

He and his new love both married be

G Dm

If he's found some other love

G Dm

He and his new love both married be

F Em C

I wish them health and happiness

Em Dm

Where they now live all across the sea

G Dm

He picked her up all in his arms

G Dm

And kisses gave her one two and three

F Em C

Saying weep no more my own true love

Em Dm

I'm your long lost John Riley

F Em C

Saying weep no more my own true love

Em Dm

For I'm your long lost John Riley
