Tim O'Brien - Pretty Fair Maid In The Garden lyrics

A Pretty fair maid out in her garden
a gathering flowers, both red and green
When a soldier boy came to her riding
Said pretty fair maid would you marry me

Oh no, kind sir, I cannot marry
a man of honor, you must be
for I've a true love in the army
been seven long years since he saw me

Perhaps he's on some watercourse drowning
Perhaps he's on some battlefield slain
Perhaps he's to a fair girl married
And you may never see him again

Well if he's drown, I hope he's happy
Or if he's on some battlefield slain Tim O'Brien - Pretty Fair Maid In The Garden - http://motolyrics.com/tim-obrien/pretty-fair-maid-in-the-garden-lyrics.html
And if he's to some fair girl married
I'll love the girl that married him

He took his hand out of his pocket
his fingers shown both lean and long
said here's a ring you once did give me
She ran to his knees and she did fall.

He picked her up close to his busom and
Kisses gave her one, two, three
Said if i'd been gone from you seven years longer,
not a girl on earth would marry me.

Go ask your Mother if we might marry,
If we might wed, this very day
If she says yes, please come and tell me,
If she says no, we'll run away.
