lyrics

Pretty fair maid was in her garden
When a stranger came riding by
He came up to the gate and called her
Said, “Pretty fair maid, would you be my bride?”
She said, “I’ve a true love who’s in the army
And he’s been gone for seven long years
And if he’s gone for seven years longer
I’ll still be waiting for him here”

“Perhaps he’s on some watercourse drowning
Perhaps he’s on some battlefield slain
Perhaps he’s to some fair girl married
And you may never see him again”
“Well, if he’s drowned, I hope he’s happy
Or if he’s on some battlefield slain
Or if he’s to some fair girl married
I’ll love the girl who married him”

He took his hand out of his pocket
And on his finger wore a golden ring
And when she saw that band a-shining
A brand new song her heart did sing
And the he threw his arms all around her
And kisses gave her one, two, three
Said, “I’m your true and loving soldier
Who’s come back home to marry thee”

Pretty fair maid was in her garden
When a stranger came riding by
He came up to the gate and called her
Said, “Pretty fair maid, won’t you be my bride?”
