jimmy aldridge and sid goldsmith - the gardener lyrics
[verse 1]
when my hands are in the soil and the sweat upon me
it is then i thin on my true love for she is wondrous bonnie
she’s wondrous bonnie
[verse 2]
she is like some heather bell in her autumn colours
though i’d not pluck her from the hill, it’s me she will not follow
it’s me she’ll not follow
[verse 3]
i will give my love a rose as the deepest color
i will tend it as it grows, and she will want no other
she will want no other
[verse 4]
oh, the pink rose that did grow to my love i could not show
it fades as soon as it does bloom as pale as winter snow
[verse 5]
and the violet rose that grew was far too pale a hue
i’ll give my blood to you red rose bud, my fate is all in you
my fate was all in you
[verse 6]
and the blood red rose that grew i planted faithfully
and when i did return again there stood a willow tree
there stood a willow tree
[verse 7]
from the willow i shall weave the new shoots every year
a basket lined with a gauze so fine to catch her crystal tears
i’ll catch her crystal tears
