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?
