English Country Garden

English Country Garden - Jimmie Rodgers (吉米·羅傑斯)

How many kinds of sweet flowers grow

In an English country garden

We'll tell you now of some that we know

Those we miss you'll surely pardon

Daffodils heart's ease and flox

Meadow sweet and lady smocks

Gentain lupine and tall hollihocks

Roses foxgloves snowdrops blue forget me nots

In an English country garden

How many insects come here and go

In an English country garden

We'll tell you now of some that we know

Those we miss you'll surely pardon

Fireflies moths gnats and bees

Spiders climbing in the trees

Butterflies drift in the gentle breeze

There are snakes ants that sting

And other creeping things

In an English country garden

How many songbirds fly to and fro

In an English country garden

We'll tell you now of some that we know

Those we miss you'll surely pardon

Bobolink cuckoo and quail

Tanager and cardinal

Bluebird lark 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 robin

Robin don't forget the robin
