DOWN BY THE GARDEN WALL Sung by: Earl Blair Recorded in Pleasant Grove, AR 7/15/52 Click here to listen to the original recording Down by the garden wall, I was walking beneath the trees so shady, Going for a twilight call. She was sleeping on a bed of roses, Dreaming of the by-and-by, And the little birds around were singing Up among the branches high. Chorus: She's my darling Daisy; Her smile could set you crazy. We love to dance among the roses Down by the garden wall. 'Tis there I love to meet my Daisy When I make a twilight call. How I love to sing and dance with Daisy Down by the garden wall, For she turns about so light and airy, You never hear a footstep fall. If you want to see a dark-eyed beauty, Bright as the stars that shine, You may come along with me some evening, And see that pretty girl of mine. (Chorus) |
