Nana Mouskouri - Early One Morning lyrics

rate me

Early one morning,just as the sun was rising

I heard a yound maid sing in the valley below

"Oh,don't deceive me;oh,never leave me!

How could you use a poor maiden so?"

Remember the vows that you made to me truly,

Remember how tenderly you nestled close to me

Gay is the garland,fresh are the roses

I've got from the garden to bind over thee

Here I now wander alone as I wonder

Why did you leave me to sigh and complain?

I asked of the roses,why should I be forsaken?

Why must I here in sorrow remain?

Through yonder grove by the stream that is running

There you and I have so merrily played

Kissing and courting and gently sporting

Oh,my innocent heart you've betrayed

Soon you will meet with another pretty maiden

Some pretty maiden you'll court her for a while

Thus ever ranging,turning and changing

Always seeking for a girl that is new

Thus sung the maiden her sorrows bewailing

Thus sung the maiden in the valley below

"Oh don't deceive me;oh,never leave me

How could you use a poor maiden so?
