[VERSE 1]
CJulie, oh Julie
CWon't you run?
C'Cos I see down yonder the soldiers have come
CJulie, oh Julie
CCan't you see?
CThem devils have come to take you far from me
[VERSE 2]
CMistress, oh mistress
CI won't run
C'Cos I see down yonder the soldiers have come
CMistress, oh mistress
CI do see
CAnd I'll stay right here 'til they come for me
[VERSE 3]
CJulie, oh Julie
CYou won't go
CLeave this house and all you know
CJulie, oh Julie
CDon't leave here
CLeave us, who love you, and all you hold dear
[VERSE 4]
CMistress, oh mistress
CI will go
CLeave this house and all I know
CMistress, oh mistress
CI will leave here
CWith what family I've got left, they're all I hold dear
[VERSE 5]
CJulie, O Julie, won't you lie?
CIf they find that trunk of gold by my side
CJulie, O Julie, you tell them men
CThat trunk of gold is yours, my friend
[VERSE 6]
CMistress, O Mistress, I won't lie
CIf they find that trunk of gold by your side
CMistress, O Mistress, that trunk of gold
CIs what you got when my children you sold
[VERSE 7]
CMistress, O Mistress, don't you cry
CThe price of staying here is too high
CMistress, O Mistress, I wish you well
CBut in leaving here, I'm leaving hell
