Down in the valley the valley so low
Late in the evening hear the train blow
Hear the train blow boys oh hear the train blow
Down in the valley hear the train blow

Write me a letter send it by mail
Send it in care of the Birmingham jail
(Write me a letter containing three lines)
Answer my question will you be mine

(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

Down in the valley the valley so low
Late in the evening hear the train blow
