Early One Morning
(English, Traditional)

Early one morning,
Just as the sun was rising,
I heard a 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 vowed to be true,
    chorus:

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

    chorus: (slowly)
