Iris DeMent - Over The Garden Wall lyrics

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 had beautiful eyes and beautiful hair She wasn't very tall so she stood on a chair Many is the time I kissed her there Over the garden wall 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 There's always a will, there's always a way Over the garden wall There's always a night as well as a day Over the garden wall We hadn't much money, but weddings were cheap So while the old feller was snoring asleep With her lad and her ladder she managed to creep Over the garden wall 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
