I, she
I am a girl, she is a la**
As took a graidly fancy to thee
Dost tha' fear? Tha' mun not fear
She's took thee on for like to vex thee
Now to the soart, now to the soart
She knows fair well, she mun not fright thee
Canna tha' show me? Fair better to know her
Show me the key, show her the key
She's a la** and tha' art right
She needs a spot where she can rest in
I mun sit where I'll not be
So thinkin' thoughts or feel a guest in
Now to the soart, now to the soart
She'd fair be watching for the spring
I'll not be climbin' up
I'll only be callin', "Good morning"
And fair low I'll sing
Well done, Mary
I'll only walk around
Just like to see it for myself
If tha' canst 'low me visit
I'll speak low e'en to thyself
Tha'll not be bothered night and day
By wenches racing 'round
I'll but seem a silent dream
Standin' on the secret ground
I'd but smell the growing things
Count the roses 'gainst the wall
Hear thy babes when first they peck
Stretch my hands if they should fall
Or if tha' likes, I'll bring thee seeds
Or worms all in a mound
For tha'll have me for a friend
Tha'll be the first I found
I'm a la**, a trusty la**
That took a graidly fancy to thee
Canna tha' show me?
Fair well tha' dost know her
Show me tha' key
Show her tha' key
Well, I'm off then
But where you going?
Oh, I can't say
But I'll see the tomorrow, sure enough
And if you need me before then
Well, now that you and Robin is talkin'
He always knows where I am
But can't him look for the key?
Oh, but that's why I'm leavin' Mary
A body can't find a thing in a crowd
Alright then, bye
And you'll be here to see it
Stand and breathe it all the day
Stoop and feel it, stop and hear it
Spring, I say
Oh no, look at, what was that?
Where did it, here it is, it's the key
It's the key to the garden
I found the key to the garden
It was right here
The door, but where's the door?
Mary Lennox, coming
