Was down in the valley, the valley so deep To pick some plain roses to keep my love sweet Let it be early, late or soon I will enjoy my rose in June Rose in June, rose in June I will enjoy my rose in June Now I will lead my flock to the fold Let it be hot or let it be cold Let it be early, late or soon I will enjoy my rose in June Rose in June, rose in June I will enjoy my rose in June Now I will cut the sweet myrtle tree To build a bower for my love and me Let it be early, late or soon I will enjoy my rose in June Rose in June, rose in June I will enjoy my rose in June But roses in June are never so sweet As kisses can be when true lovers meet Let it be early, late or soon I will enjoy my rose in June Rose in June, rose in June I will enjoy my rose in June
