What's that song that we sang in 3rd grade?

So way back in the day, I'm guessing third grade, we had to sing a song. I dont remember the title of the song, or the remaining lyrics. I have some of the lyrics stuck in my head and have for many of years, but have had no luck finding the remaining. It is a slow melodic song. Here is what I remember:

"Once there was a young man who said, said to all the girls he might wed. Here is a riddle, you must decide, give me the answer and be my bride."

Any ideas who wrote the song, or the missing verses?
