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 'til 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 stayin' here is too high
Mistress, oh mistress, I wish you well
But in leavin' here, I'm leavin' hell
'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 'til 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 stayin' here is too high
Mistress, oh mistress, I wish you well
But in leavin' here, I'm leavin' hell
