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
