VERSE 1
C G
Pretty little miss out in the garden
C
Strange young man came riding by
C G
Down at the gate he did address her
G C
Saying pretty little miss won't you marry me
VERSE 2
Oh no my love is on the ocean
Seven years out on the sea
And if he sails seven years longer
No man on earth can marry me
VERSE 3
Perhaps your loved one he is drownded
Perhaps he's in some battle land
Perhaps he stole some girl and married
You'll never see you love again
VERSE 4
If he is drownded I hope he's happy
Or if he's in some battle land
Or if he stole some girl and married
I'll love the girl that married him
VERSE 5
He pulled his hands out of of his pocket
His fingers being keen and small
This is a ring he placed upon her
Down by his feet she did fall
VERSE 6
He picked her up in arms so tender
Kisses he gave her one, two, three
This is your little single soldier
Returning home to marry thee
