Down in the valley, valley so low.
Hang your head over hear the wind blow.
Hear the wind blow, dear, 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 forty 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.
