Well howdy Hoady Kiwi

You see you should just ask me first instead of annoying all of the nice people in the forum. Here's the lyrics as printed in the CD Rockall: (and it's even got the chords 'cos I'm to lazy to take them out!!)

THE GARDENER

Proud Margaret stood at her father's doorway
Straight as a willow wand
And by there came a gardener bold
With a red rose in his hand, his hand
With a red rose in his hand.

O you shall have my rose, fair maid
If you'll give your flower to me
And among the flowers in your father's garden
I'll make a gown for thee, for thee
I'll make a gown for thee

Your gown shall be sweet smelling thyme
Your apron celandine
Your petticoat o' the camomile
Come kiss sweetheart and join, and join
Come kiss sweetheart and join

Since you have made a gown for me
Among the summer flowers
So I will make a suit for thee
Among the winter flowers, the flowers
Among the winter flowers

The milk white snow will be your shirt
That lies your body next
And the night black rain will be your coat
With the wind all at your breast, your breast
The wind all at your breast

The horses you shall ride upon
Will be a wintry grey
And every time that you pass by
I'll wish you were away, away
I'll wish you were away
