Hi all. This is a cover song from the 1820's. Sadly the original artist is not known.
With the help from Band In A Box I had great pleasure breathing some new life into this old tune.
The tune is in the key of "F" and only has two chords. Mixing was done in Studio one.
The tune is a little long winded but that's how it was written.
(Not sure why but the tune stop suddenly at the end on soundcloud, it doesn't on the original)
All comments welcome. Rob4508
Down In The Valley 1820 author not know
Down in the valley the valley so low
Hang your head over, hear the wind blow
Hear the wind blow love, hear the wind blow
Hang your head over, hear the wind blow
For Roses love sunshine, violets love dew
The Angels in heaven, know i love you
If you don't love me, love whom you please
Put your arms round me, give my heart ease
Give my heart ease love, give my heart ease
Put your arms round me, give my heart ease
Bridge
Write me a letter, send it by mail
Send it in care of, the Birmingham Jail
Birmingham Jail love, Birmingham Jail
Send it in care of, the Birmingham Jail
Build me a castle, forty feet high
So I can see her, as she rides by
As she rides by love, as she rides by
So I can see her, as she rides by
Down in the valley, the valley so low
Hang your head over, hear the wind blow

*******************
You did a great job of modernizing it. Great arrangement, and a solid vocal performance too. Sounds very sincere. Not knowing so, I wouldn't have thought it was 200 years old.
