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 ?

Gay is the garland
And fresh are the roses,
I`ve culled from the garden,
To place upon thy brow

O,don`t deceive me,
O,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

O,don`t deceive me,
O,never leave me,
How could you use
A poor maiden so ?

Thus sang the poor maiden
Her sorrows bewailling
Thus sang the poor maid,
In the valley bellow

O,don`t deceive me,
O,never leave me,
How could you use
A poor maiden so ?
