We used to go for walks in the garden

And 'ave a nice picnic on a rug

Out in the wind and cold

And I said "together you and I'll grow old"

As Ernie grew up I grew to love him
D# G#
'e truly was the apple o' me eye

An' I told 'im "O' sweet Ernie 'ow I love you,

but if you ever eat me flowers then you'll die..."
