Frederic H. Mayerson - A Girl In The Valley lyrics

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
