A Girl in the Valley
A girl I saw in the valley,
A girl I hardly knew,
A girl at work in her garden
Grew to love me.
A man who came to my valley,
A man I hardly knew,
A man who came to my 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!
LILY and ARCHIBALD:
Say you'll have me,
Safe you will keep me.
Where you would lead me,
There
I would,
LILY and ARCHIBALD:
There I would, there I would,
There I would go.
LILY ARCHIBALD:
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.
All I own I'd give!
Just a garden.
All I would ask is never to-
Never to leave!
LILY and ARCHIBALD:
Say you'll have me,
Safe you will keep me.
Where you would lead me,
There
I would,
LILY and ARCHIBALD:
There I would, there I would,
There I would go.
A girl I hardly knew,
A girl at work in her garden
Grew to love me.
A man who came to my valley,
A man I hardly knew,
A man who came to my 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!
LILY and ARCHIBALD:
Say you'll have me,
Safe you will keep me.
Where you would lead me,
There
I would,
LILY and ARCHIBALD:
There I would, there I would,
There I would go.
LILY ARCHIBALD:
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.
All I own I'd give!
Just a garden.
All I would ask is never to-
Never to leave!
LILY and ARCHIBALD:
Say you'll have me,
Safe you will keep me.
Where you would lead me,
There
I would,
LILY and ARCHIBALD:
There I would, there I would,
There I would go.
