    shers on the fiddle and ali on guitar for a song inspired by the traditional ballad 'the gardener' and 'lady chatterley's lover'
    CD: the lost lyric   Label: peetza freetza
    Credits: into june, recorded by duncan cameron at riverside

    Story Behind the Song
    this lyric is inspired by 'the gardener' and by sheryl's account to me of 'lady chatterley's lover'.
    lawrence's gardener gets lucky, and so does mine - unlike the unfortunate horticulturalist in the traditional tale.
    many thanks to john eaglesham, from whom I heard the beautiful melody, and the final verse, which is from the traditional ballad

    Lyrics
    though she was firm,
    still his charms were strong
    her gardener handsome and blithe
    her husband weak, and blinded to his wife
    her candle flickrin' tae life again

    the gardener stands by the gate so green
    the broom glints yellow, in the dusk-light
    'you know my heart, lady spurn me not again'
    says she 'I doubt I will'

    it's by yon garden gate so green
    he's laid her down in lilies white
    he's knitted jellyflower
    through her yellow hair
    strewed primrose on her breast

    the lily white shall be your smock
    becomes your body neat
    your head bedecked with jellyflower
    the primrose in your breast
