A Girl in the Valley

Lyrics

[ARCHIBALD] A girl I saw in a valley A girl I hardly knew A girl at work in a garden Grew to love me [LILY] A man who came to my valley A man I hardly knew A man who came to my garden Grew to love me 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 [ARCHIBALD] Say you'll have me [LILY] Safe you will keep me [LILY & ARCHIBALD] 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 who came to my 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 [ARCHIBALD] All I own I'd give [LILY] Just a garden [ARCHIBALD] All I would ask is never to— [LILY] Never to leave [ARCHIBALD] Say you'll have me [LILY] Safe you will keep me [LILY & ARCHIBALD] Where you would lead me There [ARCHIBALD] I would [LILY & ARCHIBALD] There I would, there I would There I would go [MARY] Skip, skipped the ladies to the master's gate Sip, sipped the ladies while the master ate Tiptoed the chambermaid and stole their pearls Snip, snipped the gardener and cut off their curls [BEN] Come along, love, come fly away, fly along Come along, fly away home
