paroles de chanson Early One Morning - Benjamin Britten , Traditional , Sir Peter Pears

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

Oh gay is the garland, fresh are the roses
I've culled from the garden to bind on thy brow
Oh don't deceive me, Oh never 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
Oh don't deceive me! Oh never leave me
How could you use a poor maiden so
