the gard'ner wi' his paidle

tune—“the gardener's march.”

when rosy may es in wi' flowers,

to deck her gay, green-spreading bowers,

then busy, busy are his hours,

the gard'ner wi' his paidle.

the crystal waters gently fa',

the merry bards are lovers a',

the scented breezes round him w—

the gard'ner wi' his paidle.
