Yonder stands a pretty maiden Who she is I do not know I'll go and court her for her beauty Let her answer yes or no Pretty girl I've come to court you Open you favour I'm again If you make me truly welcome I will call this way again Pretty girl I've gold and riches Pretty girl I've house and lands Pretty girl a worldly treasures All will be at your command What do I care for gold and riches What do I care for house and lands What do I care for 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 This is the flower that must decay Like the rose that blooms in summer When the winter comes it fades away What do I care for gold and riches What do I care for house and lands What do I care for worldly treasures All I want is a nice young man My love My love
