this very difficult to sing song a great favorite of Dad's--


Mountain Greenery--Lorenz Hart (music Richard Rodgers)

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
Than our mountain greenery home.
