SEEDS OF LOVE



D A7 D

I sowed the seeds of love

A7

I sowed them in the springtime

D

Gathered them up in the morning so soon

G D G D A7 D

While small birds sweetly sing (2x)



My garden was planted well

With flowers everywhere

I had not the liberty to choose for myself

The flower I held most dear



The gardener standing by

Three flowers he gave to me

He gave me the violet, the lily and the pink

But I refused all three



The violet I did not like

Because it fades so soon

The lily and the pink I did overthink

And vowed I would wait til June



For in June is the red, red rose

And that's the flower for me

Ofttimes Have I plucked that red rosy bush

And gained a willow tree



Now the willow tree may twist

And the willow tree may twine

I wish I was lying in that young woman's arms

That once held this heart of mine
