Lyrics
He s been gone for seven years, for i ve a love who sails along the sea, will you marry me?
And kisses gave her one, where they live across the sea., was a maid in a garden
Still he will return to me., and if he s found another love
Will you marry me?, i am true to his memory, where they live across the sea.
I am your long lost john riley., was her reply
I wish them health and happiness, i am your long lost john riley.
still he will return to me.
For i ve a love who sails along the sea, and he and his love both married be
Where they live across the sea., strange young man came riding by
Was her reply, or what if he s found another love
i wish them health and happiness
What if he s in some battle slain, and if he s drownded in the deep salt sea
Was her reply, i wish them health and happiness
Was her reply, come with me
For i ve a love who sails along the sea, what if he s in some battle slain, i wish them health and happiness
Then i shall die when the moon doth wain, and if he s drownded in the deep salt sea
I cannot marry thee, where they live across the sea.
I m your long lost john riley., i am true to his memory, if he s in some battle slain
Then i shall die when the moon doth wain, and if he s found another love, was a maid in a garden
he and his love both married be?
And if he s found another love, and if he s drownded in the deep salt sea
if he s in some battle slain
Was her reply, and he and his love both married be, still he will return to me.
Or drownded in the deep salt sea, and if he s drownded in the deep salt sea
he picked her up in his arms so strong
or drownded in the deep salt sea
Or drownded in the deep salt sea, and he and his love both married be, or what if he s found another love
He picked her up in his arms so strong, was a maid in a garden Riley, i m your long lost john riley.
Where they live across the sea., i am your long lost john riley.
Still he will return to me., strange young man came riding by, or drownded in the deep salt sea
or what if he s found another love
and if he s drownded in the deep salt sea
Was a maid in a garden, i m your long lost john riley.
I am true to his memory, for i ve a love who sails along the sea
and if he s found another love
I am your long lost john riley., will you marry me?
And if he s found another love, or drownded in the deep salt sea, for i ve a love who sails along the sea
Will you marry me?, and kisses gave her one
And he and his love both married be, and if he s drownded in the deep salt sea John, i am your long lost john riley.
