In The Shade Of The Old Apple Tree
In the Shade Of the Old Apple Tree
The Ink Spots
Words by Harry H. Williams and Music by Egbert Van Alstyne
Four versions charted in 1905: Henry Burr (# 1); Albert Campbell (# 2);
The Haydn Quartet (# 2); and Arthur Pryor's Band (# 9)
Re-made to # 13 in 1933 by Duke Ellington
In the shade of the old apple tree
Where the love in your eyes I could see
When the voice that I heard like the song of a bird
Seemed to whisper sweet music to me
I could hear the dull buzz of the bee
In the blossoms as you said to me
"With a heart that is true, I'll be waiting for you"
"In the shade of the old apple tree"
I could hear the dull buzz of the bee
In the blossoms as you said to me
"With a heart that is true, I'll be waiting for you"
"In the shade of the old apple tree"
