Rick Nelson - Try to See It My Way - Rick Nelson & Joanie So lyrics

Fair young maiden

Fair young maiden

All in the garden

All in the garden

Strange young man

Strange young man

Passed her by

Passed her by

Said: ’fair maid

Said: "fair maid

Will you marry me? ’

Will you marry me? "

Thisthensir

Thisthensir

Was her reply

Was her reply

’oh nokind sir

"oh nokind sir

I canot marry thee

I canot marry thee

For my beloved

For my beloved

Who sails out on the sea

Who sails out on the sea

He’s been gone

He’s been gone

For seven years

For seven years

And still no man

And still no man

Shall marry me

Shall marry me

Well if he’s in

Well if he’s in

Some battle salin

Some battle salin

Well I will die

Well I will die

When the moon [ ? ]

When the moon [ ? ]

Or if he’s drowned

Or if he’s drowned

In the dark salt sea

In the dark salt sea

I’ll be true

I’ll be true

To his memory.’

To his memory."

He picked her up

He picked her up

All in his arms

All in his arms

And kisses gave her

And kisses gave her

Onetwo and three

Onetwo and three

Said: ’weep no more

Said: "weep no more

My own dear true love

My own dear true love

I am your love

I am your love

Lost john reilly’

Lost john reilly"

Said: ’weep no more

Said: "weep no more

My own dear true love

My own dear true love

I am your love

I am your love

Lost john reilly’

Lost john reilly"
