Nana's Song

While unpacking and sorting I came across this sheet music that has a real story to it.  The song "In Your Green Hat" is one my grandmother sang to us and I have remembered the chorus always.

 Over the years whenever I was in any antique shops of fairs and saw sheet music I would always look through hoping to find this particular song.

Then one night I was watching the "collectors" on the ABC where the programme was on old music and lo and behold on top of a box of music sheets there was "In Your Green Hat".  After contacting them I was put in touch with a kind gentleman in Tasmania, who was only too happy to provide me with a copy.

The original was printed in green, but I am happy to have the black and white version.  Has anyone ever heard this song.  It holds such lovely memories for me of Nana. 

The words of the chorus go:

"In your green hat you're beautiful,

You're the best dressed girl in town,

In you're green hat you're wonderful

from your shingle top all the way down.

You're like a fashion show from head toe

What a picture what a face and what a chapeau'
