Early One Morning
Traditional Old English

lyrics

Early one morning,
Just as the sun was rising,
I heard a young maid sing,
In the valley below.

Chorus:
Oh, don't deceive me,
Oh, 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 promised to be true...Chorus

Oh, gay is the garland,
And fresh are the roses,
I've culled from the garden,
To bind on thy brow...Chorus

Thus sang the poor maiden,
Her sorrows bewailing,
Thus sang the poor maid,
In the valley below...Chorus

Early one morning,
Just as the sun was rising,
I heard a young maid sing,
In the valley below...Chorus
