Subject: Lyr Add: IN AN OLD DUTCH GARDEN (Hank Snow)
IN AN OLD DUTCH GARDEN (BY AN OLD DUTCH MILL)
Words by Mack Gordon, music by Will Grosz, 1939
Recorded by Hank Snow

In an old Dutch garden by an old Dutch mill
Where the moon was dreaming on a distant hill
When a smile danced by it was then that I
Saw heaven in a pair of wooden shoes

In an old Dutch garden where the tulips grow
That's when first I whispered that I love you so
For my heart was blue till I gave it to
An angel in a pair of wooden shoes

Then one sad day
When summer meets September
I sailed away
From a thrill I will remember

In an old Dutch garden by an old Dutch mill
Ev'ry day I pray that you are waiting still
For my heart will yearn until I return
To heaven in a pair of wooden shoes!
