Lyrics
Refrain
If I’d a garden where girlies would grow
You’d find me there with my spade and my hoe
My little garden, I never would leave
I’d work from day break until the eve
Daytime and night I would cheerfully toil
I’d kill the blight and encourage the soil
And when at last, I had cleared it of weeds
I’d go and buy me a package of seeds
Refrain
Primrose and Myrtle and Lilys I’d see
They’d be there growing for now one but me
Delightful creatures a garden of girls
With fairest features and lovely curls
All ’round my garden, in rapture, I’d roam
I’d stay all day there and never go home
I can’t imagine what more a man needs
Than lots of ground and a package of seeds
