One morning a young man was walking his way
When he saw a fair maid come along the highway
He said to this fair maid, "If you do not mind
I will walk with you on this fine morning"
The young maid she told all of her sorrowful tale
How the landlord was wicked and forced her to wail
And she had just left on that very same morn
Then the young man he turned and he told her
"Won't you come with me now?
And I will look after you always
Oh, won't you come with me now?
And I will look after you always"

The young man, he took this fair maid by the hand
He said, "Come with me now to a far away land"
For he had a plan that the two could be free
To seek out their fortunes together
They boarded a ship that would take them away
And she clung to his arm as the ship it did sway
When he held her and told her to not be afraid
She had felt that her troubles were over
Won't you come with me now?
And I will look after you always
Oh, won't you come with me now?
And I will look after you always
♪
The two fell in love and they soon settled down
And in no time at all heard the wedding bells sound
They started a union and they knew it would last
They would treasure the time of their meeting
When one morning a young man was walking his way
And he saw a fair maid come along the highway
He said to this fair maid "If you do not mind
I will walk with you on this fine morning"
Won't you come with me now?
And I will look after you always
Oh, won't you come with me now?
And I will look after you always
Oh, won't you come with me now?
And I will look after you always
Oh, won't you come with me now?
And I will look after you always
