Oh ! valley, dear valley. My valley so green. Oh ! in this valley. Nothing will grow. Oh ! nothing will grow, But the white birch-tree.
Oh 1 under the birch-tree, A gallant is walking. Oh ! a gallant is walking. His kerchief he waves. Oh ! his kerchief he waves, To beckon his love.
"Oh! my maiden, my maiden. Canst thou give me thy love ? Oh! dost thou love me? Wilt thou wed me?" "Oh! I bear thee no- love, And I'll not marry thee."
Oh ! I'd fain wed a gallant, A gallant will wed. Oh ! a gallant will wed. But his heart it will change. Oh ! I'd fain wed a soldier. But the soldier must tight.
Oh I the soldier must fight. And leave me who am young. Oh ! bitterly I'd weep then ! How mournful I should be ! How mournful I should be then ! How sorrowful I'd be !
