Julie

Julie, oh Julie

Won't you run?

'Cause I see down yonder

The soldiers have come

Julie, oh Julie

Can't you see?

Them devils have come

To take you far from me

Mistress, oh mistress

I won't run

'Cause I see down yonder

The soldiers have come

Mistress, oh mistress

I do see

And I'll stay right here

Till they come for me

Julie, oh Julie

You won't go

Leave this house

And all you know

Julie, oh Julie

Don't leave here

Leave us, who love you

And all you hold dear

Mistress, oh mistress

I will go

Leave this house

And all I know

Mistress, oh mistress

I will leave here

With what family I've got left

They're all I hold dear

Julie, oh Julie

Won't you lie?

If they find that trunk of gold

By my side

Julie, oh Julie

You tell them men

That that trunk of gold

Is yours, my friend

Mistress, oh mistress

I won't lie

If they find that trunk of gold

By your side

Mistress, oh mistress

That trunk of gold

Is what you got

When my children, you sold

Mistress, oh mistress

Don't you cry

The price of staying here

Is too high

Mistress, oh mistress

I wish you well

But in leaving here

I'm leaving hell
