Pretty Little Miss Lyrics - The Stanley Brothers

Pretty little miss out in the garden 

Strange young man came riding by 

Down at the gate he did address her 

Saying pretty little miss won't you marry me 

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 

Perhaps your loved one he is drowned 

Perhaps he's in some battle land 

Perhaps he stole some girl and married 

You'll never see your love again 

If he is drowned 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 

He pulled his hand out of his pockets 

His fingers being keen and small 

This is the ring you placed upon here 

Down by his feet she did fall 

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
