My love stood under a walnut tree

Over the garden wall

She whispered and said she'd be true to me

Over the garden wall

She had beautiful eyes and beautiful hair

She wasn't very tall so she stood on a chair

Many is the time I kissed her there

Over the garden wall



Over the garden wall

The sweetest girl of all

There never were yet such eyes of jet

And you can bet I'll never forget

The night our lips in kisses met

Over the garden wall



There's always a will, there's always a way

Over the garden wall

There's always a night as well as a day

Over the garden wall

We hadn't much money, but weddings were cheap

So while the old feller was snoring asleep

With her lad and her ladder she managed to creep

Over the garden wall



Over the garden wall

The sweetest girl of all

There never were yet such eyes of jet

And you can bet I'll never forget

The night our lips in kisses met

Over the garden wall
