Burl Ives - Mockin’ Bird Hill lyrics

When the sun in the morning
Peeps over the hill
And kisses the roses 'round my window sill
Then my heart fills with gladness
When I hear the trill of the birds in the
Treetops on Mockingbird Hill

Tra la la, tweedle dee dee dee
It gives me a thrill
To wake up in the morning
To the mockingbird's trill
Tra la la tweedle dee dee dee
There's peace and good will
You're welcome as the flowers
On Mockingbird Hill

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 Mockingbird Hill

Tra la la, tweedlе dee dee dee
It gives me a thrill
To wake up in thе morning
To the mockingbird's trill
Tra la la tweedle dee dee dee
There's peace and good will
You're welcome as the flowers
On Mockingbird Hill

When it's late in the evening
I climb up the hill
And survey all my kingdom
While everything's still
Only me and the sky and an old whippoorwill
Singin' songs in the twilight
On Mockingbird Hill

Tra la la, tweedle dee dee dee
It gives me a thrill
To wake up in the morning
To the mockingbird's trill
Tra la la tweedle dee dee dee
There's peace and good will
You're welcome as the flowers
On Mockingbird Hill
