Performed by Sheralyn Rennert and David Warin Solomons
Early one morning, just as the sun was rising
I heard a maid singing in the valley below;
O don't deceive me
O 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 vow'd to be true;
O don't deceive me
O never leave me!
How could you use a poor maiden so?
Gay is the garland and fresh are the roses
I've culled from the garden to bind on your brow
O don't deceive me
O never leave me!
How could you use a poor maiden so?
Thus sung the maiden, her sorrow bewailing
Thus sung the poor maiden in the valley below;
O don't deceive me
O never leave me!
How could you use a poor maiden so?
