lyrics

s 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 up to her so quickly saying,
"Would you like to be a sailor's wife?"
"Oh no, kind sir, I'd rather tarry
and be single all my life."

"What makes you differ from another's wishes?"
"I'm sure you're useful and handsome, too."
"Set sail with me to Pennsylvania.
Adieu to England for evermore."

"It's now kind sir that I must tell you.
I could have been married three years ago
To one John Riley who left this country.
He' is the cause of all my woe."

"I'll not go with you to Pennsylvania,,
Neither with you to that distant shore.
For my heart it is with Riley.
I can't forget him evermore."

Now when he saw she loved him truly,
He gave her kisses one, two, and three,
Saying, "I am Riley, your long-lost lover,
and has been the cause of all your misery."

"If you be he, and your name is Riley
I will go with you to that distant shore.
We'll set sail for Pennsylvania.
Adieu, young friends, for evermore."
