Down in the Valley Songtext
von Pete Seeger

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

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, love, give my heart ease
Throw your arms ′round me, give my heart ease

Build me a castle 40 feet high
So I can see him as he rides by
As he rides by, love, as he rides by
So I can see him as he rides by

Write me a letter, send it by mail
Send it in care of Birmingham jail
Birmingham jail, love, Birmingham jail
Send it in care of Birmingham jail


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
