Early one morning Just as the sun was rising, I heard a maid sing, In the valley below O, don`t deceive me, O, never leave me, How could you use A poor maiden so? Gay is the garland And fresh are the roses, I`ve culled from the garden, To place upon thy brow O, don`t deceive me, O, never leave me, How could you use A poor maiden so? Remember the vows, That you made to your Mary, Remember the bower Where you vowed to be true O, don`t deceive me, O, never leave me, How could you use A poor maiden so? Thus sang the poor maiden Her sorrows bewailling Thus sang the poor maid, In the valley bellow O, don`t deceive me, O, never leave me, How could you use A poor maiden so?
