Thanks, John....

I see your broken heart, and raise you a garden wall...Tiger

OVER THE GARDEN WALL
A. P. Carter

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 kissed her there,
Over the garden wall.

    CHORUS
    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 the day,
Over the garden wall.
We hadn't much money, but weddin's were cheap,
So while the old feller was snoring asleep,
With a lad and ladder she managed to creep,
Over the garden wall.

    CHORUS
