Pretty Little Miss

pretty little miss out in the garden
strange young man came riding by
down at the gate he did address her
pretty little miss would you marry me

oh no kind sir I got a lover on the ocean
seven long years he’s sailing on the sees
and if he sails for seven years longer
not a man on earth s’ gonna marry me

well if he’s drowned in some cold ocean
or if he’s in some battle-land
or if he stole some pretty girl to marry
you’ll never see your love again

well if he’s drowned I hope he’s happy
or if he’s in some battle-land
or if he stole some pretty girl to marry
I love the girl that married him

he took both hands all out of his pockets
his fingers been most keen and small
this is the ring I placed upon you
down to his feet then she did fall

he picked her up in his arms so tender
kisses he gave her one two three
this is your lonesome single sailor
returning home for to marry thee

pretty little miss out in the garden
strange young man came riding by
down at the gate he did address her
pretty little miss would you marry me
