              Ami  D         Ami 
1.Fair young maid  all in a garden
                     D     Ami 
  strange young man passerby
              C                   G 
  said "Fair maid will you marry me?"
             Hmi            Ami 
  this then sir was her reply.
2."Oh no kind sir I cannot marry thee
  for I've a love who sails all on the seas
  he's been gone for seven years
  still no man shall marry me."
3."What if he's in some battle slain
  or drownded in the deep salt sea
  what if he's found another love
  and he and his love both married be?"
4."If he's in some battle slain
  I will die when the moon doth wane
  if he's drowned in the deep salt sea
  I'll be true to his memory."
5."And if he's found another love
  and he and his love both married be
  I wish them health and happiness
  where they dwell across the sea."
6.He picked her up all in his arms
  and kisses gave her one two three
  saying "Weep no more my own true love
  I am your long lost John Riley."
