Lyrics: There was a maid in her father's garden a gentleman, being passing by He stood a while and he gazed upon her Saying: "Fair young lady, will you marry me?" "I'm not a lady, but a poor girl And a poor girl of low degree So now, young man, choose another sweetheart For I'm not fitting your maid to be." "I have houses and I have lands and I have money to set you free. I'll make you a nice young lady And you'll have servants to wait on thee." "It's seven years since I had a sweetheart And seven more since I did him see Seven more I will wait upon him And if he's alive, he'll come home to me." "It's seven years since you had a sweetheart And seven more since you did him see Seven more you will wait upon him Perhaps this young man you'll never see." If he's sick, I wish him better And if he's dead, I wish him rest If he's alive, he will come home to me For he's the young man that I love best." He put his hand into his pocket His lily-white fingers, being thin and small And out between them he drew a gold ring And when she saw it, down she did fall He took her up all in his arms And gave her kisses most tenderly Saying, "I'm your true love, a single sailor that came home from sea, love, to wed with thee" "If you're my true love, a single sailor Your face and features, seem strange to me But seven years make great alterations On the raging seas between you and me."
