A dragon ran across the land
and flew over the sea.
My lover traveled twice as far
To bid farewell to me.
I kissed her once, and galloped off
Around the world, but then
I went back ‘round the other way
To kiss her once again.

All ‘round the blessed world I go
But long I never stay;
And I will always come back for 
My pretty little maid.

I rode across the plains one day, 
When much to my surprise
A mountain made o’ granite
Sprouted up before my eyes.
I climbed atop to see the world
In all its stately grace,
But the prettiest thing to catch my eye
Was my lover’s smiling face.

All ‘round the blessed world I go
But long I never stay;
And I will always come back for 
My pretty little maid.

I wrote a song to tell my love
How much she meant to me.
I sang of how no other was
As beautiful as she.
She kissed me and she hugged me,
And I swear upon my life
My pretty little maid is now
My pretty little wife!

All ‘round the blessed world I go
But long I never stay;
And I will always come back for 
My pretty little maid.
