Yonder stands a pretty little maid

who she is I do not know

I'll go and caught her for her beauty

let her run, say yes or no

Why do I wish for so much beauty

it's a flower that must decay

like the rose that blooms in Summer

when Winter comes it fades away



What do I care for golden riches

what do I care for house and land

what do I care waerly treasures

all I want is a nice young man



My love wears the tarry trousers

my love wears the jacket blue

my love sails upon the ocean

so young men away with you
