Down in the Valley Lyrics
Down in the valley
The 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
If you don't love me
Love whom you please;
Throw your arms 'round me
Give my heart ease
Writing this letter
Containing three lines
Answer my question:
"Will you be mind?"
Go build me a castle
Forty feet high;
So I can see him
As he goes by
As he goes by, dear;
As he goes by;
So I can see him
As he goes by
Roses love sunshine;
Violets love dew
Angels in heaven
Knows I love you
Down in the valley
The valley so low
Hang your head over
Hear the wind blow
