about

folksong arrangement by Benjamin Britten
(from Volume 5, British Isles)

lyrics

Early one morning, just as the sun was rising,
I heard a maid sing in the valley below.
“Oh, don’t deceive me, oh, never leave me,
How could you use a poor maiden so?”

“O gay is the garland, fresh are the roses
I’ve culled from the garden to bind on thy brow.
O don’t deceive me, O do not leave me!
How could you use a poor maiden so?

Remember the vows that you made to your Mary,
Remember the bow’r where you vowed to be
true.
Oh, don’t deceive me, oh, never leave me.
How could you use a poor maiden so!”

Thus sung the poor maiden, her sorrow bewailing,
Thus sung the poor maid in the valley below;
“O don’t deceive me! O do not leave me!
How could you use a poor maiden so?”
