Down in the valley, valley so low
Lay your head down, feel the wind blow
Feel the wind blow, feel the wind blow
Lay your head down, hear the wind blow
Now, roses love sunshine, violets love dew
Heaven above knows, that I love you
That I love you, that I love you
Heaven above knows, that I love you
Now, buy me a castle on a mountain so high
So I can see him, as he walks by
As he walks by, as he walks by
So I can see him, as he walks by
Verse
Write me a letter, send it by the mail
Send it in the care of that Birmingham Jail
Birmingham Jail, Birmingham Jail
Send it in the care of that Birmingham Jail
Send it in the care of that Birmingham Jail
