Текст песни Joan Baez - John Riley
Joan Baez - John Riley слова песни
Fair young maid all in a gardenStange young man, passerbyHe said, "Fair maid, will you marry me?"This then, sir, was her reply:Oh, no, kind sir, I cannot marry theeFor I`ve a love who sails all on the sea.He`s been gone for seven yearsStill no man shall marry meWhat if he`s in some battle slainOr drownded (sic) in the deep salt seaWhat if he`s found another loveAnd he and his love both married be?Well, if he`s in some battle slainI will go and mourn all on his graveAnd if he`s drowned in the deep salt seaI`ll be true to his memoryAnd if he`s found another loveAnd he and his love both married beI`ll wish them health and happinessWhere they dwell across the seaHe picked her up all in his armsKisses gave her: One, two, threeSaid, Here am I, my own true loveI am your long-lost John Riley!
