Down In The Valley
Down in the valley,
There is a mission
Down by the old oak tree
Down by the mission,
There is a fountain
Where my love told me:
There's a web like a spider's web
Made of silver light and shadows
Spun by the moon in my room at night
It's a web made to catch a dream
Hold it tight 'til I awaken
As if to tell me my dream is all right
On the evening
I was leaving
My love dreamed of me
I was sleeping,
She was weeping
When she said to me:
There's a web like a spider's web
Made of silver light and shadows
Spun by the moon in my room at night
It's a web made to catch a dream
Hold it tight 'til I awaken
As if to tell me my dream is all right
I met a stranger,
His name was Danger
We rode side by side
Way down in Santa Fe,
I killed a man they say
Danger told me, Ride!
There's a web like a spider's web
Made of silver light and shadows
Spun by the moon in my room at night
It's a web made to catch a dream
Hold it tight 'til I awaken
As if to tell me my dream is all right
And now if I return,
They will hang me
High from the old oak tree
Down by the mission,
Down by the fountain
Where my love told me:
There's a web like a spider's web
Made of silver light and shadows
Spun by the moon in my room at night
It's a web made to catch a dream
Hold it tight 'til I awaken
As if to tell me my dream is all right.

Down In The Valley Alternative Lyrics
Down in the valley, valley so low,
Hang your head over, hear the wind blow.
Hear the wind blow, love, hear the wind blow,
Hang your head over, hear the wind blow.
If you don't love me, love whom you please,
But throw your arms round me, give my heart ease.
Give my heart ease, dear, give my heart ease.
Throw your arms round me, give my heart ease.
Down in the valley, walking between,
Telling our story, here's what it sings:
Here's what it sings, dear, here's what it sings,
Telling our story, here's what it sings:
Roses of sunshine, vi'lets of dew,
Angels in heaven knows I love you,
Knows I love you, dear, knows I love you,
Angels in heaven knows I love you.
Build me a castle forty feet high,
So I can see her as she goes by,
As she goes by, dear, as she goes by,
So I can see her as she goes by.
Write me a letter, send it by mail,
And back it in care of the Birmingham jail.
Birmingham jail, love, Birmingham jail,
And back it in care of the Birmingham jail.

It is not really nice to say they killed a person in a song. But otherwise, very nice.

My great grandmother used to sing the alternate version to me when I was a kid. I'm so glad I found this , it brings back some wonderful memories!
