The Gardener Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
Proud [A]Margaret stood at
her father's doorway,
Straight as a willow wand,
And by there came a gardener [G]bold,
[A]With a red rose in his hand,
A red rose in his hand.
Oh, you shall have my rose,
fair maid,
if you give your flower to me.
And among the flowers in your
[D]father's [Em]garden,[G]
[A]I'll make a gum for thee,
I'll make a gum for thee.
The lily [G]white [A]will be your smock
that lights your body next
And the marigold will be your stays
with a red rose at your breast
Your gown shall [G]be [A]sweet
smelling thyme,
your apron saladine
Your petticoat of the camo[Em]mile,
[G]Come kis[A]s, sweetheart, and join,
Join, kiss, sweetheart, and join.
Your gloves shall be of
the clover flower,
Shoes of the Russo fine,
I'll line them with the cornflower [Em]blue,
[A]So join your love with mine,
Mine, join your love with mine.
Since you have made a gown for me
among the summer flowers
So I will make a [D]suit for [Em]thee
[A]among the winter showers,
the winter showers
The milk -white snow will be your shirt
that lines your body next
And the night -black rain
will be your [Em]coat
[A]with the wind all at your breast,
all at your breast
The horses you shall ride upon
will be a wintry grey
And every time that you pass [Em]by
I [A]wish you were away, away
I wish you were away, away
I wish you were away
