Garlic, good garlic (Anonymous, set by L. Berio) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Garlic, good garlic
the best of all the cries.
It is the physic
'gainst all the maladies.
It is my chiefest wealth,
good garlic for the cry.
And if you lose your health
my garlic then come buy,
my garlic come to buy.
