The Gardener

   Proud Margaret stood in her father's doorway
   Straight as a willow wand
   And by there came a gardener bold
   With a red rose in his hand, his hand,
   A red rose in his hand
   
   Oh you shall have my rose, fair maid,
   If you'll give your flower to me
   And among the flowers in your father's garden
   I'll make a gown for thee, for thee...
   
   Your gown shall be sweet smelling thyme
   And your apron celandine
   Your petticoat of the chamomile
   Come kiss, sweetheart, and join
   
   Your gloves shall be of the clover flower
   And your shoes of rue so fine
   I'll line them with the cornflower blue
   Come join your love with mine
   
   Since you have made a gown for me
   Among the summer flowers
   So I shall make a suit for thee
   Among the winter showers
   
   The milk white snow will be your shirt
   That lies your body next
   And the night black rain will be your coat
   With the wind all at your breast
   
   Your boots will be of the bramble briar
   That nothing can betide
   The water wan will be your steed
   Light on, young man, and ride
   
   The hat you wear upon your brow
   It will be of the weather gray
   And every time that you pass by
   I'll wish you were away
