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
