lyrics

Down in some lone valley
In a sad lonesome place
Where the wild birds do warble
Their notes to increase

Farewell sweet Scarlett
I bid thee Adieu
But I dream of sweet Scarlett
Wherever I go

Well my love she won't have me
So I understand
She wants a freeholder
Who owns a house and land

I cannot maintain her
With silver and gold
And all of the fine things
That a big house can hold

If I was a poet
And could write a fine hand
I'd write my love a letter
That she'd understand

I'd write it by the river
Where the water overflows
But I dream of sweet Scarlett
Wherever I go
