Lucy Simon - A Girl In The Valley lyrics

rate me

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,

"Lass, 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.
