My love stood under the walnut tree
A7...................... D
Over the garden wall

She whispered and said she'd be true to me
.............. A.......... D
Over the garden wall
............ A7
She’d beautiful eyes and beautiful hair
................................................. D
She was not very tall so she stood in a chair.
......... G .......................... D
And many a time I have kissed her there
............... A7....... D
Over the garden wall

........................... A7
Over the garden wall

The sweetest girl of all
........................................................ D
There never were yet such eyes of jet
........ G................................... D
And you can bet I'll never forget
......... G..................... A7..... D
The night our lips in kisses met
............... A7....... D
Over the garden wall

But her father stamped and her father raved,
Over the garden wall,
And like an old madman he behaved,
Over the garden wall,
She made a bouquet of roses red,
But immediately I popped up my head,
He gave me a bucket of water instead,
Over the garden wall.

One day I jumped down on the other side,
Over the garden wall,
And she bravely promised to be my bride,
Over the garden wall,
But she screamed in a fright, "Here's father, quick,
I have an impression he's bringing a stick."
But I brought the impression of half a brick,
Over the garden wall.

But where there's a will, there's always a way,
Over the garden wall,
There's always a night as well as the day,
Over the garden wall ;
We hadn't much money, but wedding's are cheap,
So while the old fellow was snoring asleep,
With her lad and ladder, she managed to creep
Over the garden wall.
