The Byrds - John Riley [Version One][Instrumental] lyrics

Fair young maid all in her garden Strange young man came riding by Saying fair young maid, will you marry me This then, sir, was her reply Oh no, kind sir, I cannot marry thee For I've a love who sails the deep salt sea Though he's been gone these seven years Still no man shall marry me What if he's died all in some battle slain Or if he's drowned in, in the deep salt sea What if he's found some other love He and his new love both married be If he's found some other love He and his new love both married be I wish them health and happiness Where they have dwelled all across the sea
