[Verse 1] Early one morning Just as the sun was rising I heard a maid sing In the valley below [Chorus] O, don't deceive me O, never leave me How could you use A poor maiden so? [Verse 2] Gay is the garland And fresh are the roses Ive culled from the garden To place upon thy brow [Chorus] [Verse 3] Remember the vows That you made to your Mary Remember the bower Where you vowed to be true [Chorus] [Verse 4] Thus sang the poor maiden Her sorrows bewailling Thus sang the poor maid In the valley bellow [Chorus]
