作曲 : TRAD+BRITTEN BENJAMIN
Early one morning, just as the sun was rising
I heard a maid singing in the valley below
O don't deceive me
O do not leave me
How could you use a poor maiden so
O gay is the garland, fresh are the roses
I've culled from the garden to bind on thy brow
O don't deceive me
O do not leave me
How could you use a poor maiden so
Remember the vows that you made to your Mary
Remember the bow where you vowed 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 do not leave me
How could you use a poor maiden so
