Roger Mcguinn - John Riley Lyrics

Font:

Align:

Strange young man [G] come riding [Dm] by

Saying fair young [F] maid will you marry [C] me?

And this dear [Em] sir was her [Dm] reply

Oh no dear sir I cannot marry thee

For I've a love who sails the deep salt sea

Though he's been gone for seven years

Still no man shall marry me

What if he's died all in some battle slain?

Or if he's drownded in the deep salt sea

What if he's found another love

He and his new love both married be?

Well if he's died all in some battle slain

Or if he's drownded in the deep salt sea

I'll remember his good name

And still no man shall marry me.

And if he's found some other love

He and his true love both married be

I wish them health and happiness

Where they now live all across the sea

He picked her up all in his arms

And kisses gave her one two and three

Saying weep no more my own true love

For I'm your long lost John Riley

Saying weep no more my own true love

For I'm your long lost John Riley
