GARDEN WHERE THE PRADDIES GROW

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN LOVE ME BOYS?
OR HAVE YOU EVER FELT THE PAIN
I'D SOONER BE IN JAIL ME SELF
THAN BE IN LOVE AGAIN
FOR THE GIRL I LOVED WAS BEAUTIFUL
AND I'LL HAVE YOU'SE ALL TO KNOW
I MET HER IN THE GARDEN WHERE THE PRADDIES GROW

CHORUS: SHE WAS JUST THE SORT OF CREATURE BOYS
THAT NATURE DID INTEND
TO WALK RIGHT THRU THE WORLD ME BOYS
WITHOUT A GRECIAN BEND
NOR DID SHE WEAR A SHE-NON
AND I'LL HAVE YOU'SE ALL TO KNOW
THAT I MET HER IN THE GARDEN WHERE THE PRADDIES GROW.
