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 a 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 & ARCHIBALD]
Say you'll have me
Safe you will keep me
Where you would lead me
There

[ARCHIBALD]
I would

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

[LILY]
A man who came to my valley
[ARCHIBALD]
A girl I saw in a valley

[LILY]
A man I hardly knew

[ARCHIBALD]
A girl I hardly knew

[LILY]
A man who gave me a garden

[ARCHIBALD]
A girl who gave me a garden

[LILY & ARCHIBALD]
Grew to love me
