Lucy Simon & Marsha Norman - A Girl in the Valley lyrics

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 "La**, 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
