Lyrics
words to study
Fair young maid all in a garden
Stange young man, passerby
He said, "Fair maid, will you marry me?"
This answer was her reply:
Oh, no, kind sir, I cannot marry thee
For I've a love who sails all on the sea
He's been gone for seven years
Still no man shall marry me
What if he's in some battle slain
Or drowned in the deep salt sea
