lyrics

Yonder stands a fine young beauty
who she is I do not know
go and court her for her beauty
let her run say yes or no


Pretty girl I've golden riches
pretty girl I've house and land
pretty girl I've worldly treasures
and all will be at your command

What do I care for your golden treasures?
What do I care for your house and land?
What do I care for your worldly treasures?
All I want is a nice young man

My love wears the tarry trousers
my love wears a jacket blue
my love sails upon the ocean
so young man away with you

Why do you wish for so much beauty?
It is a flower that will decay
like the rose that blooms in summer
when winter comes it fades away

What do I care for your golden treasures?
What do I care for your house and land?
What do I care for your worldly treasures?
All I want is a nice young man

My love wears the tarry trousers
my love wears a jacket blue
my love sails upon the ocean
so young man away with you
