Song Lyrics

Verse 1
I sowed three seeds of love,
And I sowed them in the spring,
In April, May and June likewise,
When the small birds so sweetly sing.
Verse 2
My garden was well planted
With flowers everywhere.
But I had not the liberty for choosing for myself,
The flower I loved so dear.
Verse 3
My gardener was standing by,
I asked him to choose for me,
He chose me the violet, the lily and the pink,
And it's them I refused all three.
Verse 4
The violet I did not like,
Because it does fade away too soon,
And the lily and the pink I did overlook,
I resolved to tarry till June.
Verse 5
In June there's the red rosebud,
And that is the flower for me,
I oft times plucked at the red rosebud
Till I gained the willow tree.
Verse 6
The willow tree will twist,
And the willow tree will twine,
And I wish I was in that young man's arms,
That stole away this heart of mine.
Verse 7
Then a bunch of rue I'll wear,
That no one can ever touch,
And I'll let the world so plainly see,
That I loved one flower too much.
