<< Mockin' Bird Hill >>

--- Patti Page

CHORUS
|
Tra-la-la, tweedlee dee dee it gives me a thrill
|
To wake up in the morning to the mockin' bird's trill
|
Tra-la-la, tweedlee dee dee
|
There's peace and goodwill
|
You're welcome as the flowers on Mockin'bird Hill
|
|
When the sun in the mornin' peeps over the hill
|
And kisses the roses 'round my windowsill
|
Then my heart fills with gladness when I hear the trill
|
Of those birds in the treetops on Mockin'bird Hill
|
|
CHORUS:
|
|
When it's late in the evenin' I climb up the hill
|
And survey all my kingdom while everything's still
|
Only me and the sky and an old whippoorwill
|
Singing songs in the twilight on Mockin'bird Hill
|
|
CHORUS X 3 with FADE on third
|
|
END OF PAGE'S VERSION
|
|
It has been reported (but I can't confirm) that other versions may contain an
|
additional verse:
|
|
Got a three cornered plow and an acre to till
|
And a mule that I bought for a ten dollar bill
|
There's a tumble-down shack and a rusty old mill,
|
But it's my home sweet home up on Mockin'bird Hill
|
