[Verse 1]
A lady stood in the garden
When a gentleCman came riding Gby
He stepped up to her, tried to woo her
And said, "Fair Dmaid, fancy GI"
[Verse 2]
"Oh, kind sir, I am a servant
A servant Cgirl, all froo and Gfree
Never to part and never to marry
For my true Dlove is far at Gsea"
[Verse 3]
"It's seven long years, since I lived true love
Seven Cyears since he left to Gsea
And seven more, I'll wait upon him
For if he Dlives, he'll return to Gme"
[Verse 4]
"If he's alive, I wish to see him
If he's Cdead, I wish him Grest
Even if he's wed, I hope he's happy
For he was the Dman I loved him the Gbest"

He pulled his hand out of his pocket
His fragile Chands were thin and Gsmall
Showed her the ring they broke between them
And when she Dsaw, down she did Gfall
[Verse 6]
He stooped down to her, his love he lifted
And then he Cgave her kisses Gthree
"I'm your true love, your missing soldier
And I've come Dhome to marry Gthee"
[Verse 7]
And so this pair, they did get married
And lived happy Cthere, I true beGlieve
Lived out his life and loved his wife
And bid fareDwell to the rolling Gsea
[Outro]
