I Met Her In The Garden Where The Praties Grow - Christopher Lynch

Have you ever been in love me boys

Or have you felt the pain

I'd rather be in jail myself

Than be in love again

For the girl I loved was beautiful

I'd have you all to know

And I met her in the garden

Where the praties grow

She was just the kind of creature boys

That Nature did intend

To walk right through the world me boys

Without the Grecian bend

Nor did she wear a chignon

I'd have you all to know

And I met her in the garden

Where the praties grow

And says I: "My pretty Kathleen

I'm tired of single life

And if you've no objection sure

I'll make you my dear wife"

She answered me quite modestly

And curtsied very low

"Oh you're welcome to the garden

Where the praties grow"

She was just the kind of creature boys

That Nature did intend

To walk right through the world me boys

Without the Grecian bend

Nor did she wear a chignon

I'd have you all to know

And I met her in the garden

Where the praties grow

And says I: "My pretty Kathleen

I hope that you'll agree"

She was not like your city girls

Who say you're making free

Says she: "I'll ask me parents

And tomorrow I'll let you know

If you'll meet me in the garden

Where the praties grow"

She was just the kind of creature boys

That Nature did intend

To walk right through the world me boys

Without the Grecian bend

Nor did she wear a chignon

I'd have you all to know

And I met her in the garden

Where the praties grow

Oh the parents they consented

And we're blessed with children three

Two boys just like their mother

And a girl the image of me

And now we're going to train them up

The way they ought to go

For to dig in the garden

Where the praties grow

She was just the kind of creature boys

That Nature did intend

To walk right through the world me boys

Without the Grecian bend

Nor did she wear a chignon

I'd have you all to know

And I met her in the garden

Where the praties grow
