A guy's sisters troubled him all afternoon:
"Go to that strange garden and pick some flowers tonight", they said
"That gardener that lives by the woods,
He's got such a nice garden..."
So the guy made up his mind:
"Fine, I'll have to go,
Or else these annoying women
Won't leave me alone!"
So, when the night fell
He took a knife and went
Under the veil of darkness
To pick flowers in a strange garden
[refrain:]
"Go, brother, go to the strange garden
Pick some flowers and bring them home
Go, brother, to the strange garden, go
And bring us someone else's flowers. Hey, hey!"
One hour had passed and two had passed
And their brother still hadn't returned
The sisters began to worry
When was their brother coming back?
It was starting to dawn
But the brother was still gone
But as soon as the cocks began to crow
They heard footsteps at the door
[refrain]
Smiling from ear to ear
The gardener came in
Put a bunch of flowers on the table
And vanished from sight without a word
When the sisters looked at the flowers
They gave a gasp of fear:
Lying among the flowers was their brother's head
[refrain]
