Down in the Valley (folk song)
"Down in the Valley", also known as "Birmingham Jail", is a traditional American folk song.〔 It has been recorded by many artists, and is included in the ''Songs of Expanding America'' recordings in the Burl Ives six-album set ''Historical America in Song''.
It is a ballad played in the 3/4 time signature. Lyrics vary, as with most folk songs. For example, sometimes the line "Hang your head over, hear the wind blow" is replaced by "Late in the evening, hear the train blow".〔 In 1927, Darby and Tarlton sang "down in the levee" in place of "down in the valley"; the version sung by Lead Belly in 1934 substitutes "Shreveport jail" for "Birmingham jail".〔
==Selected recordings==
