Columbine do grow in my garden
without a bye or leave
They've made a home in the borders
we'll let them stay if they please
Statues stand guard
Half hardies they do grow hard
In my perfumed back yard
there is endless talk about those flowers
One by one we do love you so
Goodbye Sweet William, hello old Rose
why'd you hang your head so low
mother of a Thousand Baby Tears
Goodbye Jack-in-the-Green
we'll see you next year
Abraham, Isaac and Joseph
all grow where they please
And the little Wood Sorrel we call
God Almighty's bread and cheese
Foxgloves stand tall
b***ercups crowd them all
In my perfumed back yard
there is endless talk about those flowers
One by one we do love you so
Goodbye Sweet William, hello old Rose
why'd you hang your head so low
mother of a Thousand baby Tears
Goodbye Jack-in-the-Green
We'll see you next year
without a bye or leave
They've made a home in the borders
we'll let them stay if they please
Statues stand guard
Half hardies they do grow hard
In my perfumed back yard
there is endless talk about those flowers
One by one we do love you so
Goodbye Sweet William, hello old Rose
why'd you hang your head so low
mother of a Thousand Baby Tears
Goodbye Jack-in-the-Green
we'll see you next year
Abraham, Isaac and Joseph
all grow where they please
And the little Wood Sorrel we call
God Almighty's bread and cheese
Foxgloves stand tall
b***ercups crowd them all
In my perfumed back yard
there is endless talk about those flowers
One by one we do love you so
Goodbye Sweet William, hello old Rose
