Verse 1
(A minor) A fair young maid all (D major) in (A minor) a garden
A bright young sailor came (D major) riding (A minor) by
He said, fair (C major) maid, would you like to (G major) marry?
Or could you (B minor) fancy such a one (G major) as (A minor) I?
Oh no, kind sir, I (D major) cannot marry thee (A minor)
For I've a love -all (D major) on the salt (A minor) sea
Though he's been gone (C major)
for seven long (G major) years
Still no (B minor) man shall marry (A minor) me (D major)
(A minor) What if he's on some (D major) battlefield (A minor) slain
Or drowned in the deep (D major) salt (A minor) sea?
But if he's (C major) with another love (G major)
He won't re (B minor) turn to Mary, (A minor) dear
Well, if he's on some (D major) battlefield's (A minor) land
Or drownded in the (D major) deep salt (A minor) sea
I'll stay (C major) here and weep (G major) alone,
And still stay (B minor) true to his memory. (A minor)
And if he's found (D major) another (A minor) love
And won't return to (D major) marry (A minor) me
I wish him (C major) all that wealth will (G major) bring,
Where they (B minor) dwell across the (A minor) sea.
He picked her up, all (D major) in his (A minor) arms
And kisses he gave her, (D major) one,
two, (A minor) an d three
Saying weep no more, (C major) my own true (G major) love
I am you (B minor) long -lost John Re
