Mountain Greenery
On the first of may, it is moving day,
Spring is here, so blow your job,
Throw your job away!
Nows the time to trust,
To your wanderlust,
In the citys 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 well laugh at the weather.
And if youre good,
Ill 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,
Wont bite you dear,

Rocks In My Bed
My heart is heavy as lead
Because the blues has done spread
Rocks in my bed
Of all the people I see
Why do they pick on poor me
And put rocks in my bed
All night long I weep
So how can I sleep
With rocks in my bed
Theres only two kinds of people
I cant understand
Theres only two kinds of people
I cant understand
Thats a deceitful woman
And a hard faced man
She took my man away
And aint goin bring him back
She took my man away
And aint goin bring him back
Shes lower than a snake down in a wagon track

Isnt It A Pity?
Why did I wander
Here and there and yonder
Wasting precious time
For no reason or rhyme
Isnt it a pity
Isnt it a crime
My journeys ended
Everything is splendid
Meeting you today
Has given me a wonderful idea
Here I stay
Its a funny thing
I look at you
I get a thrill
I never knew
Isnt it a pity
We never met before?
Here we are at last
Its like a dream
The two of us

Of Thee I Sing
From the island of manhattan to the coast of gold
From north to south, from east to west
You are the love, i love the best
You're the dreamboat in the sweetest story ever told
A dream i sought, both night and day
For years through all, the u.s.a.
The star i hitched my wagon to
Is very obviously you
Of thee i sing, baby
Summer, autumn, winter, spring, baby.
You're my silver lining,
You're my sky of blue
There's a lovelight shining
Just because of you.
Of thee i sing, baby,
You have got that certain thing, baby
Shining star and inspiration
Worthy of a mighty nation,
Of thee i sing.

Ridin High
Lifes great, lifes grand
Future, all planned
No more, clouds in the sky
Howm I ridin? Im ridin high
Someone, I love
Mad for, my love
So long, jonah, goodbye
Howm I ridin? Im ridin high
Floating, on a starlit ceiling
Doting, on the cards Im dealing
Gloating, because Im feeling so hap-hap-happy, Im slap-happy
So ring bells, sing songs
Blow horns, beat gongs
Our love, never will die
Howm I ridin? Im ridin high
Someone, I love
Mad for, my love
So long, jonah, goodbye
Howm I ridin? Im ridin high

I Only Have Eyes For You
How glad the many millions
Of Timothys and Williams
Would be, to capture me
But you had such persistence
You wore down my resistance
I fell, and it was swell
You're my big and brave and handsome Romeo
How I won you I shall never, never know
It's not that you're attractive
But oh, my heart grew active
When you came into view
I've got a crush on you, sweetie pie
All the day and nighttime, hear me sigh
I never had the least notion
That I could fall with such emotion
Could you coo, could you care
For a cunning cottage we could share
The world will pardon my mush
Cause I've got a crush, my baby, on you
Could you coo, could you care

It Was Written In The Stars
It was written in the stars
What was written in the stars shall be
It was written in the skies
That the heart and not the eyes shall see
And so whether it bring joy
Whether it bring woe
It shall be done
Now suddenly I know
You are the one
Here as in a daydream
By my side you stand
Here with my tomorrows
In your hands
It was written high above
That I have to have your love
Or Ill never be free
And cloudy though the day be
Crazy though I may be
What the stars foretold shall be
Here as in a daydream

Jim
(verse):
Why am I sitting alone tonight,
When I could be out where the lights are bright?
Its all because of jim, its all because of jim.
Why am I wasting these precios years?
Why am I crying these bitter tears?
Its all because of jim, its all because of jim.
(chorus):
Jim doesnt ever bring me pretty flowers,
Jim never tries to cheer my lonely hours,
Dont know why Im so crazy for jim.
Jim never tells me Im his hearts desire.
I never seem to set his love afire
Gone are the years Ive wasted on him.
Sometimes when I get feeling low,
I say lets call it quits.
Then I hang on and let him go
Breaking my heart in bits.
Some day I know tht jim will up and leave me,
But even if he does you can believe me,

Prelude To A Kiss
If you hear
A song in blue
Like a flower crying
For the dew
That was my heart serenading you
My prelude to a kiss
If you hear a song that grows
From my tender sentimental woes
That was my heart trying to compose
A prelude to a kiss
Though its just a simple melody
With nothing fancy
Nothing much
You could turn it to a symphony
A shubert tune with a gershwin touch
Oh how my love song gently cries
For the tenderness within your eyes
My love is a prelude that never dies
A prelude to a kiss
(bridge)
