The Secret Garden - A Girl In The Valley Lyrics

A man who came to my valley
A man I hardly knew
A man who came to my garden
Grew to love me

A girl I saw in a valley
A girl I hardly knew
A girl at work in her 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"

"Share my tea"
She bade me so gently
Oatcakes and cream
Sweet plums in a jar

And every day to my garden
This man, who might he be?
Came bearing baskets of roses
For he loved me

All I own I'd give
Just a garden
All I would ask is never to
Never to leave

Say you'll have me
Safe you will keep me
Where you would lead me
There I would, there I would
There I would, there I would go

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
