Pretty little miss out in the garden
|
Strange young man came riding by
|
Down at the gate he did address her
|
Saying pretty little miss won't you marry me
|
|
Oh no my love is on the ocean
|
Seven years out on the sea
|
And if he sails seven years longer
|
No man on earth can marry me
|
|
|
Perhaps your loved one he is drowned
|
Perhaps he's in some battle land
|
Perhaps he stole some girl and married
|
You'll never see your love again
|
|
If he is drowned I hope he's happy
|
Or if he's in some battle land
|
Or if he stole some girl and married
|
I'll love the girl that married him
|
|
|
He pulled his hand out of his pockets
|
His fingers being keen and small
|
This is the ring you placed upon here
|
Down by his feet she did fall
|
|
He picked her up in arms so tender
|
Kisses he gave her one two three
|
This is your little single soldier
|
Returning home to marry thee
|
