In a Shady Nook by a Babbling Brook (1930s)

Chorus
In a shady nook, by a babbling brook,
'mid the flow'rs, I spend hours, ev'ry day;
that old shady nook, and that babbling brook,
they're my mem'ry's book, since you're away.
I can hear the strain, of the bird's refrain,

in a shady nook, by a babbling brook,
that's where I fell in love with you.

Verse

Down thro' the pathway I'm roaming,
to the tree where we both carved our name.
Down thro' the lane in the gloaming,
in the wild wood I wander again. In a (To Chorus)
