Seeds of Love
 D A7 D I sowed the seeds of love A7 I sowed them in the springtime
 D Gathered them up in the morning so soon G D G D A7 D While small birds sweetly sing (2x) 
My garden was planted well With flowers everywhere I had not the liberty to choose for myself The flower I held most dear 
The gardener standing by Three flowers he gave to me He gave me the violet, the lily and the pink But I refused all three 
The violet I did not like Because it fades so soon The lily and the pink I did overthink And vowed I would wait til June 
For in June is the red, red rose And that's the flower for me Ofttimes Have I plucked that red rosy bush And gained a willow tree 
Now the willow tree may twist And the willow tree may twine I wish I was lying in that young woman's arms That once held this heart of mine
