Intro

  

Verse

Pretty little miss out in the garden
Strange young man came riding by
Down at the gate he did address her
Saying pretty little miss won't you marry me
Oh no my love is on the ocean
Seven years out on the sea
And if he sails seven years longer
No man on earth can marry me

Verse

Perhaps your loved one he is drownded
Perhaps he's in some battle land
Perhaps he stole some girl and married
You'll never see you love again
If he is drownded I hope he's happy
Or if he's in some battle land
Or if he stole some girl and married
I'll love the girl that married him

Verse

He pulled his hands out of of his pocket
His fingers being keen and small
This is a ring he placed upon her
Down by his feet she did fall
He picked her up in arms so tender
Kisses he gave her one, two, three
This is your little single soldier
Returning home to marry thee
