Julianne Lyrics

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.
