Early One Morning
Adam Cartwright Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just as the sun was rising,
I heard a maid singing
In the valley below;
O dont deceive me,
O never leave me!
How could you use
Remember the vows that you made to your mary,
Remember the bowr where you vowd to be true;
O dont deceive me,
O never leave me!
How could you use
A poor maiden so?
O gay is the garland,
Fresh are the roses
Ive culled from the garden
To bind on thy brow.
O dont deceive me,
O never leave me!
How could you use
A poor maiden so?
Thus sung the poor maiden,
Her sorrow bewailing,
Thus sung the poos maiden
In the valley below;
O don't deceive me,
O never leave me!
How could you use
A poor maiden so?
Early one morning,
Just as the sun was rising,
I heard a maid singing
In the valley below;
O dont deceive me,
O never leave me!
How could you use
A poor maiden so?
The lyrics of Adam Cartwright’s “Early One Morning” express the pangs of a heartbroken woman who has been betrayed by her lover. The song begins with the singer hearing the sad music of a maiden singing in the valley below. The woman’s mournful voice and the tender melody convey the depth of her pain and helplessness. She pleads with her lover not to deceive her and not to leave her, questioning how he could use a poor maiden so. The lyrics suggest that she has been taken advantage of and abandoned after giving her heart and trust to her lover.
The woman reminds her lover of the vows and promises of fidelity he made to her, and wonders how he could forget them so easily. She sings about the garland of fresh roses she has gathered for him, symbolizing her hope for a happy future with her beloved. But her final plea of “O don’t deceive me, O never leave me!” indicates that she is resigned to her fate and cannot bear the thought of another betrayal.
The song portrays the agony of a woman who has been jilted and left alone to suffer the consequences of her lover’s treachery. The melancholic melody and the simple but poignant lyrics evoke a sense of sadness and loss, making it a timeless classic.
