                   Ami D         Ami
    1. Fair young maid all in a garden
                          D     Ami
       strange young man passerby
                   C                   G
       said "Fair maid will you marry me?"
                  Hmi            Ami
       this then sir was her reply.

    2. "Oh no kind sir I cannot marry thee
       for I've a love who sails all on the seas
       he's been gone for seven years
       still no man shall marry me."

    3. "What if he's in some battle slain
       or drownded in the deep salt sea
       what if he's found another love
       and he and his love both married be?"

    4. "If he's in some battle slain
       I will die when the moon doth wane
       if he's drowned in the deep salt sea
       I'll be true to his memory."

    5. "And if he's found another love
       and he and his love both married be
       I wish them health and happiness
       where they dwell across the sea."

    6. He picked her up all in his arms
       and kisses gave her one two three
       saying "Weep no more my own true love
       I am your long lost John Riley."
