Julie oh Julie

Won't you run

'Cos I see down yonder the soldiers have come

Julie oh Julie

Can't you see

Them devils have come to take you far from me

Mistress oh mistress

I won't run

'Cos I see down yonder the soldiers have come

Mistress oh mistress

I do see

And I'll stay right here 'til they come for me

Julie oh Julie

You won't go

Leave this house and all you know

Julie oh Julie

Don't leave here

Leave us who love you and all you hold dear

Mistress oh mistress

I will go

Leave this house and all I know

Mistress oh mistress

I will leave here

With what family I've got left they're all I hold dear

Julie oh Julie

Won't you lie

If they find that trunk of gold by my side

Julie oh Julie

You tell them men

That that trunk of gold is yours my friend

Mistress oh mistress

I won't lie

If they find that trunk of gold by your side

Mistress oh mistress

That trunk of gold

Is what you got when my children you sold

Mistress oh mistress

Don't you cry

The price of stayin' here is too high

Mistress oh mistress

I wish you well

But in leavin' here I'm leavin' hell
