EARLY ONE MORNING
(Traditional)
As old as time itself. Canadians of enough years (like me) know this music
best as the theme to the kids’ TV show «The Friendly Giant». Roger Whittaker
also did a version of the song with the lyrics.
As the quotation marks show, the song is in two (literary) voices. All the
choruses (after each verse) are the maiden, as are the middle two verses. But
the whole thing can be sung in male (singing) voice.
G C D
1. Early one morning, just as the sun was rising
G C G
I heard a maiden singing, from the valley below:
[Chorus:]
D (C) G D (C) G
«Oh, don’t deceive me, Oh never leave me,
G C D G
How could you use, a poor maiden so?»
2. «Oh gay is the garland, and fresh are the roses,
I’ve culled from the garden, to bind upon thy brow.»
3. «Remember the vows, that you made to your Mary
Remember the bow’r, where you promised to be true.»
4. Thus sang the poor maid, her sorrows bewailing,
Thus, sang the poor maid, in the valley below:
[Repeat last line of chorus]

y-otra blanca mortal
Mortales ingredientes
armaron al mayor
luz de terratenientes
y de revolucion
destreza de la esgrima
sucesos como un preso
Amalia abandonada
por la bala
la verguenza el amor
o un fusilamiento
un viejo cuento
modelaron su adios

y mientras mas mortal
Em D A
el tajo es mas de vida
Va cabalgando
sobre una palma escrita
y a la distancia
de cien a/os resucita
Trota sobre la espuma
seguido por un mar
de negros en machete
y sin encadenar
ordena a su corneta
el toque de deguello
y a un siglo de distancia
entona nuestra cancion
y con recia garganta
canta espanta lejos
la maldicion
Va cabalgando…
