The Old Garden Gate

As I walked out one May morning
So early in the spring
I placed my back against the old garden gate
And heard my true love sing

Collected by RVW from Mr Broomfield, West Horndean, Essex, 4 December 1903, the same day that he collected his first folk song, Bushes and Briars, from Mr Charles Pottipher in Ingrave.
