Down in the valley, valley so low
Hang your head over, hear the wind blow
Hear the wind blow, love, hear the wind blow
Hang your head over, hear the wind blow
Up on the mountain, mountain so high
I get so lonely that I wish I could die
I wish I could die, love, I wish I could die
I get so lonely that I wish I could die
If you don't love me, go court who you please
First put your arms 'round me to give my heart ease
For to give my heart ease, love, for to give my heart ease
First put your arms round me for to give my heart ease
Write me a letter containing three lines
Tell me you love me, you'll forever be mine
Forever be mine, love, forever be mine
Tell me you love me, you'll forever be mine
Goin' to build me a castle, forty feet high
Set at my window and you go by
I'll watch you go by, love, watch you go by
I'll set at my window and watch you go by
