Grecian Bend - Appearance in Popular Music

Appearance in Popular Music

There were many songs published with "Grecian Bend" in their titles. The term 'Grecian bend' appears in the song 'The Garden Where The Praties Grow' by Johnny Patterson:

Have you ever been in love my boys
Or have you felt the pain?
I'd sooner be in jail myself
Than be in love again
For the girl I loved was beautiful
I'd have you all to know
And I met her in the garden
Where the praties grow

She was just the sort of creature boys
That Nature did intend
To walk right through the world my boys
Without the Grecian bend
Nor did she wear a chignon
I'd have you all to know
And I met her in the garden
Where the praties grow

Famous quotes containing the words appearance, popular and/or music:

    When appearance and reality coincide, philosophy and literary criticism find themselves with nothing to say.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    If they have a popular thought they have to go into a darkened room and lie down until it passes.
    Kelvin MacKenzie (b. 1946)

    Words move, music moves
    Only in time; but that which is only living
    Can only die. Words, after speech, reach
    Into the silence.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
