#1.
Down in the valley, valley so low,
Hang your head over, and hear the wind blow.
Can t you hear the wind blow, my love?
Can t you hear the wind blow?
Down in the valley, valley so low?
#2.
Have you ever been lonely, lonely?
Have you ever been sad?
Did you ever really, really want someone,
and really need them bad?..Bad, bad, bad, bad?
(INTERLUDE:)
#3.
Roses love sunshine, violets love dew.
Angels in Heaven, know I love you.
Know I love you, dear, know I love you.
Angels in Heaven, know I love you.

It was down in the valley, the valley so low.
It was where I held you so tight.
How could I ever let you go?
I remember the first kiss..oh, how it thrilled me so.
Now all that I can feel right now..is that cold wind blow.
OUTRO:
Down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, so low.
Come on, hang your head low.
Come on, come on, hear the wind blow.
Hear the wind blow, one more time..
Just one more time for me, right now..
Hear the wind blow..hear the wind blow..(Fade.)
