Over The Garden Wall Lyrics - Iris Dement

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 had beautiful eyes and beautiful hair 

She wasn't very tall so she stood on a chair 

Many is the time 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 

There's always 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 were cheap 

So while the old feller was snoring asleep 

With her lad and her 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
