JOHN REILLY



Dm G Dm

Fair young maid all in a garden

G Dm

Strange young man passerby

F C

Said fair maid will you marry me

Gm Dm

This, then sir, was her reply



O no, kind sir, I cannot marry thee

For I've a love who sails all on the sea

Though he's been gone for seven years

Still no man shall marry me



What if he's in some battle slain

Or drownded in the deep salt sea

What if he's found another love

And he and his love both married be



If he's in some battle slain

I will die when the moon doth wane

If he's drownded in the deep salt sea

I'll be true to his memory



And if he's found another love

And he and his love both married be

I wish them health and happiness

Where they dwell across the sea



He picked her up all in his arms

And kisses gave her one, two, three

Saying, weep no more, my own true love

I am your long, lost John Reilly
