LILLY:
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 the valley,
A girl I hardly knew,
A girl at work in her garden
Grew to love me.

LILLY:
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.

LILLY:
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!

LILLY:
Just a garden.

ARCHIBALD:
All I would ask is never to-

LILLY:
Never to leave!

LILLY and ARCHIBALD:
Say you'll have me,
Safe you will keep me.
Where you would lead me,
There

ARCHIBALD:
I would,

LILLY and ARCHIBALD:
There I would, there I would,
There I would go.

LILLY ARCHIBALD:
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. Grew to love me.
