Down in the Valley

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.

Roses love sunshine, violets love dew,

The angels in heaven know I love you;

Know I love you, dear, they know I love you,

The angels in heaven know I love you.

If you don't love me, well, love whom you please,

Throw your arms round me, give my heart ease.

Give my heart ease, love, give my heart ease,

Throw your arms round me, give my heart ease.

Build me a castle forty feet high,

So, I can see her as she rides by;

As she rides by, dear, oh as she rides by,

So, I can see her as she rides by.

Send me a letter, send it by mail

Send it in care of the Baltimore jail.

Baltimore jail, dear, the Baltimore jail.

Send it in care of the Baltimore jail.

Down in the valley, the valley so low,

Hang your head over, hear the wind blow.
