Julie Songtext
von Rhiannon Giddens

Julie, oh Julie, won′t you run?
'Cause I see down yonder the soldiers have come
Julie, oh Julie, can′t you see?
Them devils have come to take you far from me

Mistress, oh mistress, I won't run
'Cause I see down yonder the soldiers have come
Mistress, oh mistress, I do see
And I′ll stay right here ′til they come for me

Julie, oh Julie, you won't go
Leave this house and all you know
Julie, oh Julie, don′t leave here
Leave us, who love you, and all you hold dear


Mistress, oh mistress, I will go
Leave this house and all I know
Mistress, oh mistress, I will leave here
With what family I've got left, they′re all I hold dear

Julie, oh Julie, won't you lie
If they find that trunk of gold by my side
Julie, oh Julie, you tell them men
That that trunk of gold is yours, my friend

Mistress, oh mistress, I won′t lie
If they find that trunk of gold by your side
Mistress, oh mistress, that trunk of gold
Is what you got when my children you sold

Mistress, oh mistress, don't you cry
The price of stayin' here is too high
Mistress, oh mistress, I wish you well
But in leavin′ here, I′m leavin' hell
