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
|
