Down in the Orange Grove
By John Anderson
Tabbed By Larry Mofle
6/28/2011



A
I learned to drive my daddy's old pickup truck down in the orange grove 
A
I'd nearly get a whippin' when I'd get the truck stuck down in the orange grove
       D
I wore out my first pair of Brogan shoes down in the orange grove
A  
And that's where I learned how to sing the blues down in the orange grove 
  E 
I learned to pray to the lord up above
    D 
The very first time I ever tasted love was
A
Down in the orange grove
A
Down in the orange grove


You learn the value of a dollar when the sun gets hot down in the orange grove
The boss wants more and you give it all you've got down in the orange grove
We'd have to light the smudge pots when it'd come a freeze down in the orange grove
And work all night just to save the trees down in the orange grove
I never will forget all the lessons I learned
Or the work I did for the money I earned
Down in the orange grove
Down in the orange grove


Well the big freeze came; now the trees are gone down in the orange grove
They cleared the land and they've built new homes down in the orange grove
Then the canker hit back in '84 down in the orange grove
Now there's shopping malls and grocery stores down in the orange grove
It made a lot of people happy when the progress came
But deep down I know it won't be the same
Down in the orange grove
Down in the orange grove.
