Adam and Eve in the Garden "Bogus" Ben Covington, 1928 & Tommy Bradley, 1930 Ben Curry was better known as "Bogus" Ben Covington, "Bogus" because he wasn't really blind. His song Adam and Eve in the Garden is a composite of two versions, which is a bit of a departure for me. Curry only had a very few verses in the original, which made it a bit short to make a worthwhile song, at least for me, as a solo singer, and without complex, instrumental extensions. I therefore added verses from Tommy Bradley's 1930 version, which was in turn based on Ben Curry's. An interesting piece of word -- lore turns up for the first time in Adam & Eve In The Garden of Eden. In verse two, Eve is called "Suzie Q" and the inplication is clearly to her being a temptress or tease. The verse is taken from the Tommy Bradley version of the song from 1930, but one can assume that the expression was already in current usage by the time the recording was made. 1. When Adam and Eve was in the Garden of Eden, They musta shook that thing, Well, the leaves started fallin', The snake started crawlin', He musta give her a diamond ring, Adam said to Eve, "You just won't wait, Till I get out of this garden gate," When Adam and Eve was in the Garden of Eden, They musta shook that thing. 2.
