John Reilly — текст песни (Walkabouts, The)

Fair young maiden
All in the garden
Strange young man
Passed her by
Said: Fair maid
Will you marry me?
This, then, sir,
Was her reply

Oh no, kind sir
I canot marry thee
For my beloved
Who sails out on the sea
He`s been gone
For seven years
And still no man
Shall marry me

Well if he`s in
Some battle salin
Well I will die
When the moon [ ? ]
Or if he`s drowned
In the dark salt sea
I`ll be true
To his memory.

He picked her up
All in his arms
And kisses gave her
One, two and three
Said: Weep no more
My own dear true love
I am your love
Lost John Reilly

Said: Weep no more
My own dear true love
I am your love
Lost John Reilly
