Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
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
