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)

    For those that love the world serve it in action,
    Grow rich, popular and full of influence,
    And should they paint or write, still it is action:
    The struggle of the fly in marmalade.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    There was never yet such a storm but it was Æolian music to a healthy and innocent ear.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
