Roses love sunshine, violets love dew
Angels in heaven, know I love you
Know I love you, know I love you
Angels in heaven, know I love you
If you don't love me, love whom you please
Throw your arms round me, give my heart ease
Give my heart ease love, give my heart ease
Throw your arms round me, give my heart ease
Build me a castle, forty feet high
So I can see her, as she rides by
As she rides by love, as she rides by
So I can see her, as she rides by
Write me a letter, send it by mail
Send it in care of, the Birmingham jail
Birmingham jail love, Birmingham jail,
Send it in care of, the Birmingham jail
Down in the valley, valley so low
Hang your head over, hear the wind blow
Hear the wind blow, hear the wind blow
Hang your head over, hear the wind blow
Bird in a cage love, bird in a cage
Dying for freedom, ever a slave
Ever a slave love, ever a slave
Dying for freedom, ever a slave
