Early One Morning

Verse 1

Early one morning, Just as the sun was rising, I heard a maid sing, In the valley below.

Chorus 1

Oh, don't deceive me, Oh, never leave me, How could you use A poor maiden so?

Remember the vows, That you made to your Mary, Remember the bower, Where you vowed to be true,

Verse 3

Thus sang the poor maiden, Her sorrows bewailing, Thus sang the poor maid, In the valley below.
