[ A ] Early One Morning just
[ D ] As the sun was [ E ] rising,
I [ A ] heard a maid sing in the
[ D ] Val [ E ] ley be [ A ] low.

Chorus: [ E ] Oh don't de [ A ] ceive me,
[ E ] Oh never [ A ] leave me,
How could you [ D ] use a
[ E ] Poor maiden [ A ] so?

[ A ] Remember the vows,
That you [ D ] made to your [ E ] Mary.
Re [ A ] member the bower,
Where you [ D ] vowed [ E ] to be [ A ] true. Chorus:

[ A ] Thus sang the poor maiden,
Her [ D ] sorrow be [ E ] wailing.
[ A ] Thus sang the poor maid,
In the [ D ] val [ E ] ley be [ A ] low. Chorus:

[ A ] Gay are the garlands and
[ D ] Fresh are the [ E ] daisies.
I [ A ] picked for the poor maid
In the [ D ] val [ E ley be [ A low. Chorus:

[ A ] Beware all you young men, the [ D ] CSA is [ E ] waiting.
To [ A ] interview young maidens, in the [ D ] val [ E ] ley be [ A ] low. Chorus:

CSA - Child Support Agency!
