Lyrics:

(Traditional Lyrics)

i Sowed The Seeds Of Love
i Sowed Them In The Spring
i Gathered Them Up In The Morning So Clear
when The Small Birds So Sweetly Sing

the Gardener Was Standing By
i Asked Him To Choose For Me
he Chose For Me The Violet, The Lilly And The Pink
but Those I Refused All Three
but Those I Refused All Three

the Violet I Did Not Like
because It Bloomed So Soon
the Lilly And The Pink I Really Over-Think
so I Thought I Would Wait 'til June
so I Thought I Would Wait 'til June

in June There Was A Red Rose Bud
that Is The Flower For Me
i Often Times Have Plucked That Red Rose Bud
'til I Gained The Willow Tree
'til I Gained The Willow Tree

the Willow Tree Will Twist
the Willow Tree Will Twine
i Often Have Wished I Was In The Young Man's Arms
who Once Had The Arms Of Mine
who Once Had The Arms Of Mine

i Sowed The Seeds Of Love
i Sowed Them In The Spring
i Gathered Them Up In The Morning So Soon
when The Small Birds So Sweetly Sing
when The Small Birds So Sweetly Sing
