JULIE ANNE The shady side of sunny mountain That's the place it all began. There once lived the fairest maiden, And her name was Julie Anne. Julie's beau was tall and handsome Just a poor boy with treasures few, Still he promised rings of silver, For to prove his love was true. cho: Have you seen her in the moonlight, Silver rings upon her hands Now she wears a crown of sorrow, And her name was Julie Anne. Wake me early in the morning Ere the birds begin to sing I'll get silver from the mountain, And I'll fashion ye a ring. Off he rode across the mountain, When the fields were wet with dew But instead he went a ramblin' And a courtin' Jenny Lou. The cabin door was standin' open On that wild and windy night And the hound dog he lay a dyin' In the gloomy candle light. They found a shattered empty rifle And the shawl she used to wear, But they never found Miss Julie They never found the hungry bear. Alternate verses: He said, I am just a poor boy Gold and money have I none But I'll take silver from the mountains And I'll fashion you a ring Off he rode into the shadows When the fields were wet with dew But instead he went a-roving And he courted Jennie Lou. Have you seen her in the moonlight? Silver rings upon her hand Now she wears a crown of sorrow And her name, and her name is Julie Ann Cabin door was standing open On that dark and windy night And her hound dog lay a-dying In the lonesome firelight. Alternate titles: Julianne and Julie Ann tune: similar to Wayfaring Stranger recorded by the New Christy Minstrels, and a favorite at Girl Scout camps. There's a recording of this on "The Definitive New Christy Minstrels," attribute d to Randy Sparks. The album attributes lots of traditional songs to Sparks, so it's hard to tell if this might be one he actually wrote. JRO @love @death @infidelity @revenge filename[ JULIANNE AF JB JRO |
