IN A SHADY NOOK
Harry Pease / Ed G Nelson  1927

as rec by Donald Peers  March 7th 1944


In a shady nook
By a babbling brook,
Mid the flowers
I spend hours
Every day.
That old shady nook
And that babbling brook,
There my memories book
Since you're away!

I can hear the strain
Of the birds' refrain,
But it's not the same
Since you have left me!
In a shady nook
By a babbling brook,
That's where I fell in love with you!

Where do I wander in Springtime
When the violets say, "How d'you do!"?
Where do I go in the Summer
When the skies are so peaceful and blue?
Where do I go every morning
And linger the whole day through?
Where do I go
When the stars are aglow
And dream of the bygones and you?

In a shady nook
By a babbling brook,
Mid the flowers
I spend hours
Every day.
That old shady nook
And that babbling brook,
There my memories book
Since you're away!

I can hear the strain
Of the birds' refrain,
But it's not the same
Since you have left me!
In a shady nook
By a babbling brook,
That's where I fell in love with you!
