Over The Garden Wall - The Carter Family

My love stood under a walnut tree

Over the garden wall

She whispered and said she’d be true to me

Over the garden wall

She has beautiful eyes and beautiful hair

She’s not very tall so she stood in a chair

Many a time I’ve 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

There’s always a will, there’s always a way

Over the garden wall

There’s always the night as well as the day

Over the garden wall

We hadn’t much money, but weddings were cheap

So while the old feller was snoring asleep

With a lad and ladder she managed to creep

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

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
