Where'er a sail may find a breeze
to ev'ry land that fronts the seas
I'll go my lads, I'll go!
Till I have sought through ev'ry port
that ships or sailors hap to know
I'll go my lads I'll go.
And where they understand my speech
I'll stop each one and ask of each
if my true love he's seen.
For if my true love he has met
it's certain he will not forget
the girl I mean
the girl I mean.

With downcast eye,
she walks like this;
she is such a gentle little miss
like a lily bending when the breezes play,
like a willow swaying in the wind of May.
That is how my sweetheart
goes upon her way.
Tell me have you seen her?
Tell me pray!
With downcast eye,
she walks like this;
she is such a gentle little miss
That is how my sweetheart
goes upon her way.
Tell me have you seen her?
Tell me pray!

I'll search the wide wide world around
where'er a city may be found
I'll go my lads, I'll go!
And from my quest I'll take no rest,
though long the years may grow
I'll go my lads, I'll go!
On country road and city street
I'll ask of ev'ry one I meet
if they have chanced to see
a tiny maid of modest mien
as dainty as a fairy Queen
for that is she,
for that is she.

With downcast eye,
she walks like this;
she is such a gentle little miss
like a lily bending when the breezes play,
like a willow swaying in the wind of May.
That is how my sweetheart
goes upon her way.
Tell me have you seen her?
Tell me pray!
With downcast eye,
she walks like this;
she is such a gentle little miss
That is how my sweetheart
goes upon her way.
Tell me have you seen her?
Tell me pray!
