Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document. Over The Garden Wall Oh, my love stood under the walnut tree, Over the garden wall And whispered and sang she’d be true to me, Over the garden wall. She’d beautiful eyes and beautiful hair, She was not very tall so she stood in a chair, And many a time have I kissed her there, Over the garden wall. Over the garden wall, the sweetest girl of all There never were yet such eyes of jet And you can bet I’ll never forget The night our lips in kisses met Over the garden wall. Her father stamped and her father raved, Over the garden wall. And like an old mad man he behaved Over the garden wall. She made a bouquet of roses red and immediately I popped up my head, But he gave me a bucket of water instead Over the garden wall. (Chorus) One day I jumped down on the other side Over the garden wall, And she bravely promised to be my bride Over the garden wall. She screamed in a fright, here’s father quick, I have an impression he’s bringing a stick, But I brought the impression of half a brick Over the garden wall. (Chorus) Where there’s a will, there’s always a way Over the garden wall There’s always a night as well as a day Over the garden wall. We hadn’t much money but weddings are cheap So while the old fellow was snoring asleep With a lad and a ladder she managed to creep Over the garden wall. (Chorus) English courtship folk songs Over the Garden Wall songs and music elopement songs and music fathers and daughters songs and music garden
