Shocking Blue - When I Was A Girl

This is my amateur video on the "Shocking Blue" song "When I Was A Girl", single B-side, 1972. Written by Robbie van Leeuwen.

Old tree, you resist
Cold and heat, wind and rain
And that won't be in vain,
'Cause I protect you now.

Good man spelled that tree
In youth and chance at me.
All my memories
Are here by that tree.

My momma kissed me
Here in the shade,
Here too
My brother played.
When I was a girl,
Here was my own world.

Good man spelled that tree
In youth and chance at me.
All my memories
Are here by that tree.

My momma kissed me
Here in the shade,
Here too
My brother played.
When I was a girl,
Here was my own world.

When I was a boy my brothers and sister and I had a big old apple tree in our back yard and we all had our own places in the tree. We designated various as one type of room or another and no one else was allowed to go into those spots. That tree didnt seem so big when we grew up and it has since been cut down. Had no idea that about the exact same time Shocking Blue made a song about it.

It's the flip side of Eve and the Apple...
