Early One Morning Songtext
von Rowenda Taheny

Early One Morning, just as the sun was rising
I heard a maid singing in the valley below
"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 bow'r where you vow'd to be true
O don't deceive me
O never leave me!
How could you use a poor maiden so?"

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


Early One Morning, just as the sun was rising
heard a maid singing in the valley below
"O don't deceive me
O never leave me!
How could you use a poor maiden so?"
