Down in the Valley
lyrics / about this song
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
If you don't love me
Love whom you please
But throw your arms round me
Give my heart ease
Give my heart ease, dear
Give my heart ease
Throw your arms round me
Give my heart ease
Down in the valley
Walking between
Telling our story
Here's what it sings
Here's what it sings, dear
Here's what it sings
Telling our story
Here's what it sings
Roses of sunshine
Violets of dew
Angels in heaven
Know I love you
Know I love you, dear
Know I love you
Angels in heaven know I love you
Build me a castle
Forty feet high
So I can see her
As she goes by
As she goes by, dear
As she goes by
So I can see her
As she goes by
Bird in a cage, love
Bird in a cage
Dying for freedom
Ever a slave
Ever a slave, dear
Ever a slave
Dying for freedom
Ever a slave
Write me a letter
Sent it by mail
And back it in care of
The Birmingham jail
Birmingham jail, love
Birmingham jail
And back it in care of
The Birmingham jail
