lyrics

Garden of Roses
by Oxlip

One mornin I went out for a walk
among the garden of roses
I met a man with a look so cold
Who smiled and spoke of his riches and gold

He told me I was very fair
The fairest of them all
That I could have his riches and gold
If I'd stray from the garden of roses

Oh no kind sir I don't want your gold
I don't want your riches
How could I leave the sweet gentle air
In the garden of roses?

He charmed me with his talk of wealth
And fed me dainty treats
We rode his horses with crimson bells
And strayed from the garden of roses

We stopped beneath a cherry tree
The cold wind blew astir
He held a knee unto my breast
This night young maid you shall breath your last breath

Oh please of please before you strike
Grant me this one last request
Take all my gold but bury me in
The garden of roses

Take heed all young men and maidens
Don't fall for the pleasures of folly
Promise to love but never to leave
The garden of roses
