<br />
As I went out one morning early,<br />
To breathe the sweet and pleasant air,<br />
Who should I spy but a fair young maiden;<br />
She seemed to me like a lily fair.<br />
<br />
I stepped to her add kindly asked her,<br />
`Would you like to be a bold sailor`s wife?`<br />
`Oh no kind sir,` she quickly answered,<br />
`I choose to lead a sweet single life.`<br />
<br />
`What makes you different from other women?<br />
What makes you different from other kind?<br />
For you are young, sweet, beautiful and handsome,<br />
And for to marry you, I might incline.`<br />
<br />
`It`s now kind sir that I must tell you.<br />
I might have been married three years ago<br />
To one John Riley who left this country.<br />
He`s been the cause of my overthrow.`<br />
<br />
`He courted me both late and early.<br />
He courted me both night and day.<br />
And when he had once my affections gained,<br />
He left me here and he went away.`<br />
<br />
`Oh never mind for this Johnny Riley,<br />
Oh come with me to the distant shore.<br />
Why, we`ll sail o`er to Pennsylvany,<br />
And bid adieu to Riley forever more.`<br />
<br />
`I shan`t go with you to Pennsylvany,<br />
Or go with you to the distant shore.<br />
My heart is with Riley, my long lost lover<br />
Although I`ll never see him no more.`<br />
<br />
Oh, when he saw that her love was loyal,<br />
He gave her kisses one, two, and three,<br />
Saying, `I`m the man you once called Johnny Riley,<br />
Saying `I`m the cause of your misery.`<br />
<br />
`I`ve sailed the ocean, gained great promotion,<br />
I`ve laid my money on the English shore,<br />
And now we`ll marry, no longer tarry,<br />
And I shall never deceive you any more.`<br />

JOHN RILEY

As I went out one morning early,
To breathe the sweet and pleasant air,
Who should I spy but a fair young maiden;
She seemed to me like a lily fair.

I stepped to her add kindly asked her,
`Would you like to be a bold sailor`s wife?`
`Oh no kind sir,` she quickly answered,
`I choose to lead a sweet single life.`

`What makes you different from other women?
What makes you different from other kind?
For you are young, sweet, beautiful and handsome,
And for to marry you, I might incline.`

`It`s now kind sir that I must tell you.
I might have been married three years ago
To one John Riley who left this country.
He`s been the cause of my overthrow.`

`He courted me both late and early.
He courted me both night and day.
And when he had once my affections gained,
He left me here and he went away.`

`Oh never mind for this Johnny Riley,
Oh come with me to the distant shore.
Why, we`ll sail o`er to Pennsylvany,
And bid adieu to Riley forever more.`

`I shan`t go with you to Pennsylvany,
Or go with you to the distant shore.
My heart is with Riley, my long lost lover
Although I`ll never see him no more.`

Oh, when he saw that her love was loyal,
He gave her kisses one, two, and three,
Saying, `I`m the man you once called Johnny Riley,
Saying `I`m the cause of your misery.`

`I`ve sailed the ocean, gained great promotion,
I`ve laid my money on the English shore,
And now we`ll marry, no longer tarry,
And I shall never deceive you any more.`
