Lonely Valley

VERSE 1
One night th moon shone brightly
An' gentla fell th dew
Down, down in a lonely cottage
Her jealous lover drew

VERSE 2
Come Emma, let's go roaming
Through th meadow gay
And, as we wander we'll ponder
Upon our weddin' day

VERSE 3
Down, down on 'er knees before him
Pleadin' for her life
An' in her snowy white bosom
He plunged a daggers knife

VERSE 4
Down in th lonely valley
Where th flowers fade an' bloom
There lays my own sweet Emma
Cold silent in th tomb

VERSE 5
She died, not broken hearted
Nor sickness caused her death
Hit was, of a jealus lover
That robbed her of her breath

VERSE 6
An' now, I'm tired of livin'
From my love, I must part
An with th bloody dagger
He pierced his jealous heart
