Julie lyrics

Julie, O Julie, won't you run?

'Cause I see down yonder the soldiers have come

Julie, O Julie, can't you see?

Them devils have come to take you far from me

Mistress, O Mistress, I won't run

'Cause I see down yonder the soldiers have come

Mistress, O Mistress, I do see

And I'll stay right here till they come for me

Julie, O Julie, you won't go?

Leave this house and all you know?

Julie, O Julie, don't leave here

Leave us who love you and all you hold dear

Mistress, O Mistress, I will go

Leave this house and all I know

Mistress, O Mistress, I will leave here

With what family I got left, they're all I hold dear

Julie, O Julie, won't you lie?

If they find that trunk of gold by my side

Julie, O Julie, you tell them men

That trunk of gold is yours, my friend

Mistress, O Mistress, I won't lie

If they find that trunk of gold by your side

Mistress, O Mistress, that trunk of gold

Is what you got when my children you sold

Mistress, O Mistress, don't you cry

The price of staying here is too high

Mistress, O Mistress, I wish you well

But in leaving here, I'm leaving hell
