Julie oh Julie
Won't you run
'Cause I see down yonder
The soldiers have come
Julie oh Julie
Can't you see
That them devils have come
To take you far from me
Mistress oh mistress
I won't run
'Cause I see down yonder
The soldiers have come
Mistress oh mistress
I do see
And I'll stay right here
Till they come for me
Julie oh Julie
You won't go
Leave this house
And all you know
Julie oh Julie
Don't leave here
Leave us who love you
And all you hold dear
Mistress oh mistress
I will go
Leave this house and all I know
Mistress oh mistress
I will leave here
With what family I got left
They're all I hold dear
Julie oh Julie
Won't you lie
If they find that trunk of gold by my side
Julie oh Julie
You tell them men
That that trunk of gold
Is yours my friend
Mistress oh mistress
I won't lie
If they find that trunk of gold by your side
Mistress oh mistress
I won't lie
If they find that trunk of gold by your side
Mistress oh mistress
That trunk of gold
Is what you got
When my children you sold
Mistress oh mistress
Don't you cry
The price of staying here is too high
Mistress oh mistress
I wish you well
But in leaving here
I'm leavin' hell
