Irish traditional song lyrics \u2014 collected by Beer Belly Band.<\/em><\/p>\n

Have you ever been in love, me boys?
\nOh! have you felt the pain?
\nI’d rather be in jail, me boys\/myself
\nThan be in love again
\nFor the girl I loved was beautiful
\nI’d have you all to know
\nAnd I met her in the garden
\nWhere the praties grow<\/p>\n

Chorus:
\nShe was just the sort of creature, boys
\nThat nature did intend
\nTo walk right through the world, me boys
\nWithout a Grecian Bend
\nNor did she wear a chignon
\nI’d have you all to know
\nAnd I met her in the garden
\nWhere the praties grow<\/p>\n

Said I, “My pretty\/lovely colleen
\nI hope you’ll pardon me\/hope that you agree”
\nAnd she wasn’t like the city girls
\nWho’d say “You’re making free”
\nShe looked at me right modestly\/honestly
\nAnd curtsied very low
\n“Sure, you’re welcome in the garden
\nWhere the praties grow”<\/p>\n

Chorus<\/p>\n

Says I, “My lovely darling\/pretty Colleen
\nI’m tired of single life
\nAnd if you’ve no objections
\nI will make you my sweet wife.”
\nSays she, “I’ll ask my parents
\nAnd tomorrow I’ll let you know
\nIf you’ll meet me in the garden\/
\nand i mmet you in the garden
\nWhere the praties grow”<\/p>\n

Chorus<\/p>\n

Her parents they consented
\nAnd we’re blessed with children three:
\nTwo girls just like their mother
\nAnd a boy the image of me
\nWe’ll train them up in decency
\nThe way they ought to go
\nAnd we’ll send them to the garden
\nWhere the praties grow<\/p>\n
