connie foley - garden where the parties grew lyrics

Loading...

have you ever been in love, me boys?
oh! have you felt the pain?
i’d rather be in jail, me boys/myself
than be in love again
for the girl i loved was beautiful
i’d have you all to know
and i met her in the garden
where the praties grow

chorus:
she was just the sort of creature, boys
that nature did intend
to walk right through the world, me boys
without a grecian bend
nor did she wear a chignon
i’d have you all to know
and i met her in the garden
where the praties grow

said i, “my pretty/lovely colleen
i hope you’ll pardon me/hope that you agree”
and she wasn’t like the city girls
who’d say “you’re making free”
she looked at me right modestly/honestly

and curtsied very low
“sure, you’re welcome in the garden
where the praties grow”

chorus

says i, “my lovely darling/pretty colleen
i’m tired of single life
and if you’ve no objections
i will make you my sweet wife.”
says she, “i’ll ask my parents
and tomorrow i’ll let you know
if you’ll meet me in the garden/
and i mmet you in the garden
where the praties grow”

chorus

her parents they consented
and we’re blessed with children three:
two girls just like their mother
and a boy the image of me
we’ll train them up in decency
the way they ought to go
and we’ll send them to the garden
where the praties grow

chorus
