English Country Garden - Jimmie Rodgers

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 
meadowsweet 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.
