JOHN RILEY

JOAN BAEZ

Capo III

Key:

F air young maid all i n a garde n

S tange young man pas serby

He said "Fair maid will you marry m e?"

This an swer was her rep ly:

Oh no kind sir I cannot marry thee

For I've a love who sails all on the sea.

He's been gone for seven years

Still no man shall marry me

What if he's in some battle slain

Or if he's drowned in the deep salt sea

What if he's found another love

And he and his love both married be?

Well if he's in some battle slain

I will die when the moon doth wane

And 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'll wish them health and happiness

Where they dwell across the sea

He picked her up all in his arms

Kisses gave her: One two three

Said weep no more my own true love

I am your long-lost John Riley!
