Webster Booth - Come Into the Garden, Maud

[23zowie23]

The first time I heard this song was in 1966 by a Melbourne tenor and as my dearest mother in law was a Maude - I remember it still..Graham Melb Aus

Fantastic I often sing this at work , but people say why does a 40 something sing that , or your singing like an old man , I reply it's an old song a good song and must be remebered .But really my Gran's name was Maud , and they would have sung it when she was young .

[OwnerOfTheShrine]

Yeah, it was from the Beano, wasn't it?

Man, this song is awesome. =] It's going to be fun showing this song to the whole class!

[talmadge1926]

Zeshly: OMG! "The Bash Street Kids"! That brings back memories. I think it was called "When the Bell Rings" before that title came into being. Cant remember their names except for Smiffy - the one with his head always buried in his pullover. I always loved the written sound effects - such as "Flabby Thud" etc.

What beautiful audio equipment that is. Thank you for playing this. My grandmothers name was Maud and I'm sure my Grandfather would have sung this to her. I still miss her now to this day.

[petertownend]

@suzyrking yes i bet your grandad sung it to her while he was shagging her from behind in the summerhouse
