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