Early One Morning Songtext
von Little Baby Bum Nursery Rhyme Friends

Early one morning, just as the sun was rising
I heard a young maid sing in the valley below
Oh, don′t deceive me, oh, never leave me
How could you leave a poor maiden, so?


Remember the vows that you made to me truly
Remember how tenderly you're now so close to me
Gay is the garland, fresh are the roses
I′ve culled from the garden to bind over thee

We're right now wandering alone as I wandered
Why did you leave me to sigh and complain?
I ask of the roses, why should I be forsaken?
Why must I here in sorrow remain?

Thus sung the maiden, her sorrow bewailing
Thus sung the poor maid in the valley below
Oh, don't deceive me! Oh, never leave me!
How could you use a poor maiden, so?
