Fair young maid all in her garden Strange young man, came riding by He said, "Fair maid, will you marry me?" This then, sir, was her reply: Oh, no, kind sir, I cannot marry thee For I've a love who sails all on the sea. He's been gone for seven years Still no man shall marry me. What if he's died in some battle slain Or if he's drownded in the deep salt sea What if he's found some other love And he and his love both married be? And if he's found another love And he and his love both married be I'll wish them health and happiness Where they dwell all across the sea. He picked her up all in his arms Kisses gave her: One, two, three Said, weep no more, my own true love I am your long-lost John Riley!

Great story-telling. Love this song
check for the Joan Baez version....
@@eleonorer.6861I prefer this and Judy Collins', Baez is good too.
Nice song 😎👌🏻
The most underrated tune from Byrds ♡
I'd totally forgotten about it until now. The arrangement on this is superb.
@@stuart-kennedy Yep! One of my fav.
Now you have to admit, the byrds knew how to mix and match various genre songs on their albums 😊 lol
❤❤❤❤
Fair young maid all in her garden
Strange young man, came riding by
He said, "Fair maid, will you marry me?"
This then, sir, was her reply:
Oh, no, kind sir, I cannot marry thee
For I've a love who sails all on the sea.
He's been gone for seven years
Still no man shall marry me.
What if he's died in some battle slain
Or if he's drownded in the deep salt sea
What if he's found some other love
And he and his love both married be?
And if he's found another love
And he and his love both married be
I'll wish them health and happiness
Where they dwell all across the sea.
He picked her up all in his arms
Kisses gave her: One, two, three
Said, weep no more, my own true love
I am your long-lost John Riley!

The archetypical myth of Odysseus.
