In An Old Dutch Garden By An Old Dutch Mill

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 
Every day I pray that you are waiting still 
For my heart will yearn until I return 
To heaven in a pair of wooden shoes!
