Lyrics Tom Paxton – Whose Garden Was This

Whose garden was this
It must have been lovely
Did it have flowers?
I’ve seen pictures of flowers

Whose river was this
You say it ran freely
Blue was its colour
I’ve seen blue in some pictures
And I’d love to have been there

Ah, tell me again I need to know
The forest had trees, the meadows were green
The oceans were blue and birds really flew
Can you swear that was true

Whose grey sky was this
Or was it a blue one
Nights there were breezes
I’ve heard records of breezes
And you tell me you’ve felt one

Ah, tell me again I need to know
The forest had trees, the meadows were green
The oceans were blue and birds really flew
Can you swear that was true

Whose garden was this
It must have been lovely
Did it have flowers
I’ve seen pictures of flowers
And I’d love to have smelled one
