Julie Lyrics - Rhiannon Giddens

Julie oh Julie 

wont 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 wont run 

cause I see down yonder 

the soldiers have come 

mistress oh mistress 

I do see 

and ill stay right here 

till they come for me 

Julie oh Julie 

You wont 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 

wont 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 wont lie 

If they find that trunk of gold by your side 

mistress oh mistress 

I wont 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
