Child Ballads - Brief Description by George Lyman Kittredge

219. The Gardener

The Gardener is in Five Excellent New Songs, Edinburgh, Printed and sold by William Forrest, 1706; but the copy is considerably corrupted and is not given here (see Child, v, 258). A 7 is found substantially in the preceding ballad, and perhaps belonged originally to neither.
