Lyrics

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?’

‘Remember the promise you made to your loved one,
Remember the vows where you vowed to be true;
O don’t deceive me, O never leave me!
How could you use a poor maiden so?’

Fresh is the garland and lovely the roses
I’ve culled from the garden to lay at your feet
O don’t deceive me, O do not leave me!
How could you use a poor maiden so?

Thus sung the poor maiden, her sadness bewailing,
Thus sung the poor maid in the valley below;
‘O don’t deceive me! O do not leave me!
How could you use a poor maiden so?’
