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
From the "Fifth Dimension" LP
