1. My love stood under a walnut tree over the garden wall,
A D
she
whispered and said she'd be true to me, over the garden wall.
A
She has beautiful eyes and
beautiful hair,
D
she's
not very tall, so she stood in a chair,
G D
A D
many
a time I've kissed her there, over the garden wall.
D A A7
Over the garden wall, the sweetest girl of all,
A D G D
there never were yet such eyes of
jet, and you can bet I'll never forget
G D A D
the night our lips in kisses met,
over the garden wall.

2. There's always a will, there's always a way, over the garden wall,
A D
there's
always the night as well as the day, over the garden wall.
A
We hadn't much money, but
weddings were cheap,
D
so
while the old feller was snoring asleep,
G D A D
with
a lad and ladder she managed to creep over the garden wall.
