One morning a young man Was walking his way When he saw a fair maid Come along the highway He said to this fair maid "If you do not mind I will walk with you On this fine morning" The young maid she told a sorrowful tale How the landlord was wicked And forced her to wail And she had just left On that very same morn Then the young man he turned and he told her "Won't you come with me now? And I will look after you always Oh won't you come with me now? And I will look after you always." The young man He took this fair maid by the hand He said, "Come with me now To a far away land" For he had a plan that the two could be free To seek out their fortunes together They boarded a ship that would take them away And she clung to his arm As the ship it did sway When he held her and told her to not be afraid She had felt that her troubles were over Won't you come with me now? And I will look after you always Oh won't you come with me now? And I will look after you always The two fell in love And they soon settled down And in no time at all Heard the wedding bells sound They started a union And they knew it would last They would treasure the time of their meeting When one morning a young man Was walking his way When he saw a fair maid Come along the highway He said to this fair maid "If you do not mind I will walk with you On this fine morning." Won't you come with me now? And I will look after you always Oh won't you come with me now? And I will look after you always Oh won't you come with me now? And I will look after you always Oh won't you come with me now? And I will look after you always
