Il testo della Tarry trousers

Yonder stands a pretty little maid
Who she is i do not know
I'll go and caught her for her beauty
Let her run, say yes or no
Why do i wish for so much beauty
It's a flower that must decay
Like the rose that blooms in summer
When winter comes it fades away

What do i care for golden riches
What do i care for house and land
What do i care waerly treasures
All i want is a nice young man

My love wears the tarry trousers
My love wears the jacket blue
My love sails upon the ocean
So young men away with you
