Down in the valley, The valley so low Hang your head over, Hear the wind blow. Hear the wind blow, dear, Hear the wind blow, Hang your head over, Hear the wind blow. Throw your arms 'round me, Before it's too late; Throw your arms 'round me, Feel my heart break. If you don't love me, Love whom you please; Throw your arms 'round me, Give my heart ease. Give my heart ease, love, Give my heart ease, Think of me darling, Oh, give my heart ease. Writing this letter, Containing three lines, Answer my question; "Will you be mine?" Will you be mine, dear, Will you be mine?" Answer my question: "Will you be mine?" |
Write me a letter And send it to me, Care of the jail-house At Raleigh, N.C. Write me a letter With just a few lines, Answer me, darling, And say you'll be mine. This gloomy prison Is far from you, dear, But not forever, I'm out in a year. I make this promise To go straight and true, And for a lifetime To love only you. Roses love sunshine, Violets love dew, Angels in heaven Know I love you! Go build me a castle Forty feet high; So I can see him, As he goes by. As he goes by, dear; As he goes by; So I can see him, As he goes by. |
