Mockingbird Hill with Lyrics| Jule P. Crandall | Mark Sutton

Mockingbird Hill, originally sung by Patti Page in 1951. Written by George Vaughn Horton and Calle Jularbo, 1915, music taken from a Swedish waltz called "Life in the Finn Woods".
My brother Mark Sutton and I performed this old classic together in Georgia, July, 2009. Please enjoy!
Lyrics:
When the sun in the morning peeps over the hill,
and kisses the roses round my window sill,
My heart fills with gladness when I hear the trill
of the birds in the treetops on Mockingbird Hill.
Chorus:
Tra-la-la-tweedle-lee-dee-dee,
It gives me a thrill
to wake up in the morning to the Mockingbird's trill,
Tra-la-la-dweedle-lee-dee-dee,
There's peace and goodwill.
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,
A broken down shack, and a rusty old mill,
But it's my home sweet home up on Mockingbird Hill.

Chorus

When it's late in the evening and I climb up the hill
to survey all my kingdom while everything's still.
Only me and the sky,
and an old Whip-Poor-will,
Singing songs in the twilight on Mockingbird Hill.

Chorus
