A Girl in the Valley lyrics

[LILY]
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

[LILY]
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

[LILY]
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

[LILY]
Just a garden

[ARCHIBALD]
All I would ask is never to

[LILY]
Never to leave

[LILY AND ARCHIBALD]
Say you'll have me
Safe you will keep me
Where you would lead me
There

[ARCHIBALD]
I would

[LILY AND ARCHIBALD]
There I would go, there I would
There I would go

A man (girl) who came to my valley
A man (girl) I hardly knew
A man (girl) who gave me a garden
Grew to love me
