English Country Garden - Jimmy Rodgers

How many kinds of sweet flowers grow

In an English country garden

I’ll tell you now of some that I know

And those that I miss you’ll surely pardon

Daffodils, hearts ease and flox

Meadowsweet and lady smocks

Gentian lupine and tall hollyhocks

Roses, foxgloves, snowdrops, forget me nots

In an English country garden

How many insects come here and go Through our English country garden

I’ll tell you now of some that I know

And those that I miss you’ll surely pardon

Fireflies, moths and bees

Spiders climbing in the trees

Butterflies that sway on the cool gentle breeze

There are snakes, ants that stinks

And creepy things

In an English country garden

How many songbirds fly to and flo

Through our English country garden

I’ll tell you now of some that I know

And those that I miss you’ll surely pardon

Bobolink, cuckoo and quails

Tanager and cardinals

Bluebirds larks thrush and nightingale

There is joy in the spring

When the birds begin to sing

In an English country garden

Robin

Don’t forget the robins
