I've got the gardenin' blues

Singing the blues

the gardenin' blues

(to the tune of the "babysitting blues")

hi my name is julie

and it's summer here in arizona,

it's gotten so dang hot here

that it's so hard...

it's so hard...

to keep my garden going

so I have... the gardenin' blues

it's hot here in the morning

and it's hot here in the night

this heat has killed my peach tree

killed my plum tree too

so I'm so sad...

yeah so sad...

I have... the gardenin' blues

my garden looks so lonesome

all my pretty flowers wilted

yeah my garden's such a mess

and I don't know what to do

that's why...I have the blues

I have... the gardenin' blues

I remember when it was thrivin'

before this summer came

now it's just a memory

and it makes me feel like cryin'

do you know what I'm talkin' about...

if you do...then you've also had... the gardenin' blues

been cleaning out the garden

ready for this heat to head on out

I'll be glad...

yeah so glad...

when I can start all over

and no longer sing the gardenin' blues

cause I'm singing... the gardenin' blues

til my garden looks this nice again...

i'll be singing... the gardenin' blues
