The Carter Family - Over the Garden Wall lyrics

[Verse 1] My love stood under a walnut tree Over the garden wall She whispered and said she'd be true to me Over the garden wall She has beautiful eyes and beautiful hair She's not very tall so she stood in a chair Many a time I've kissed her there Over the garden wall [Chorus] Over the garden wall The sweetest girl of all There never were yet such eyes of jet And you can bet I'll never forget The night our lips in kisses met Over the garden wall [Verse 2] There's always a will There's always a way Over the garden wall There's always the night as well as the day Over the garden wall We hadn't much money, but weddings were cheap So while the old feller was snoring asleep With a lad and ladder she managed to creep Over the garden wall [Chorus][x2]
