Julianne

The shady side of Sunny Mountain
That's the place it all began
There once lived the fairest maiden
And her name was Julianne

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

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 Julianne

"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 damp with dew
But instead he went a-ramblin'
And a-courtin', a-courtin' Jenny 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 Julianne

The cabin door was standing open
On that wild and lonely night
And the hound dog, he lay a-dyin'
In the gloomy candlelight

They found a shattered, empty rifle
And the shawl she used to wear
But they never found his Julie
And they never found, they never found the hungry bear

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 Julianne
