Woods Harry Song Lyrics

Henry MacGregor "Harry" Woods (November 4, 1896 – January 14, 1970) was a Tin Pan Alley songwriter and pianist.

Woods was born in North Chelmsford, Massachusetts. Despite the fact that he was born with no fingers on his left hand, Woods' mother, a concert singer, encouraged him to play the piano. Woods earned his Bachelor's degree at Harvard University, supporting himself by singing in church choirs and giving piano recitals. After graduation, he settled in Cape Cod and began life as a farmer. He was drafted into the Army during World War I; it was there that he began cultivating his talent for songwriting. After his discharge, Woods settled in New York City and began his successful career as a songwriter.
