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 love 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, send it by mail,
And send it in care of the Birmingham jail,
Birmingham jail, love, Birmingham jail,
And send it in care of The Birmingham jail.
