Down In The Valley

(Folk song from America)

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.

If you don't love me, love whom you please, Throw your
arms round me, give my heart ease, Give my heart ease,
dear, give my heart ease, Throw your arms round me,
give my heart ease

Roses love sunshine, violets love dew, Angels in

Heaven know I love you, Know I love you, dear,
know I love you, Angels in Heaven know I love
you.

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

Throw your arms round me, give my heart ease, Give my
heart ease, dear, 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, as she rides by,
So I can see her as she rides by.

Write me a letter, send it by mail;

Send it in care of the Birmingham jail,
Birmingham jail, dear, Birmingham jail, Send it
in care of the Birmingham jail.
