A Girl in the Valley
A man who came to my valley
A man I hardly knew
A man who came to my garden
Grew to love me
A girl I saw in a valley
A girl I hardly knew
A girl at work in her garden
Grew to love me
From the gate, he called out so kindly
"Lass, wouldst thou 'low me rest here? I've ridden quite far."
"Share my tea" she bade me so gently
Oatcakes and cream, sweet plums in a jar
And every day to my garden
This man, who might he be
Came bearing baskets of roses
For he loved me
All I own I'd give!
Just a garden
All I would ask is never to-
Never to leave!
Say you'll have me
Safe you will keep me
Where you would lead me
There I would
There I would, there I would
There I would go
A man who came to my valley (A girl I saw in a valley)
A man I hardly knew (A girl I hardly knew)
A man who gave me a garden (A girl who gave me a garden)
Grew to love me (Grew to love me)
A man I hardly knew
A man who came to my garden
Grew to love me
A girl I saw in a valley
A girl I hardly knew
A girl at work in her garden
Grew to love me
From the gate, he called out so kindly
"Lass, wouldst thou 'low me rest here? I've ridden quite far."
"Share my tea" she bade me so gently
Oatcakes and cream, sweet plums in a jar
And every day to my garden
This man, who might he be
Came bearing baskets of roses
For he loved me
All I own I'd give!
Just a garden
All I would ask is never to-
Never to leave!
Say you'll have me
Safe you will keep me
Where you would lead me
There I would
There I would, there I would
There I would go
A man who came to my valley (A girl I saw in a valley)
A man I hardly knew (A girl I hardly knew)
A man who gave me a garden (A girl who gave me a garden)
Grew to love me (Grew to love me)
