“Down in the Valley” (Folk Song from Kentucky)

Additional lyrics:

Write me a letter, containing three lines,
Answer my question, will you be mine?
Will you be mine, dear, will you be mine?
Answer my question, will you be mine?

Roses love sunshine, violets love dew,
Angels in heaven, know I love you.
Know I love you, dear, know I love you,
Angels in heaven, know I love you.

This piece is in straightforward waltz time, as practiced above. When you try the tablature, you will notice that I am using an easy version of the G chord that leaves out the top note, but it sounds very resonant with the three open strings.

For the final verse, leave out the last two beats of the last measure, playing either a full chord or just the bass note on the first beat.
