EDown in the valley where the Awild winds bElow
EThey say   a lady died when the Dmoon cast Ait's gBlow
EA angel in white comes Dwalking real Aslow
Her hands all wrapped  in Evelvet
She goes Bdown where the water Eflows
EHer hair is black as raven
ASkin so pearly Ewhite
EA fair maiden never walks  aDlone in the Apale moon nBight
EHer voice cries often where Dhas my lover gAone
Took off down  the Eriver Bleft me here Ealone
DCry cry the Aangels Ecry
ECome meet me by the whillow   wAhispered in her Eear
EShe waited there so patiently but  Dhe never Adid Bappear
EShe heard the  horses gallup
And the Dwords the rider sAaid
Your true  love   has been Etaken to Bhang by the river Ebed
DCry cry the Aangels cryE  D  A  E  
DWhy  has thou forsaken me she cBmried out thru the night
Grabbed a silver dagger  it was tAhere she took her Blife

Searching for her  lovers ghost but Donly Ain vBain
For he Enever died that  night  sDtill she'll never kAnoiw
With her hands  all  wrapped  in Evelvet
She goes Bdown where the water Eflows
DCry cry the Aangels cryE  D  A  E
