mountain greenery

fitzgerald, ella

on the first of may

it is moving day

spring is here

so blow your job

throw your job away!

now's the time to trust

to your wanderlust

in the city's dust you wait

must you wait

just you wait.!

in a mountain greenery

where god paints the scenery

just two crazy people together. while you love your lover

let blue skies

be your cover-let

when it rains we'll laugh at the weather. and if you're good

i'll search for wood

so you can cook. while i stand look-in'

beans could get no keener reception in a beanery

bless our mountain greenery home!

mosquitoes here

won't bite you dear

i'll let them sting

me on the finger!

we could find no cleaner retreat from life's machinery

then our mountain greenery home.
