Mockin' Bird Hill Lyrics - Greatest Songs - Legendary Artist Series - Patti Page

CHORUS 

Tra-la-la, tweedlee dee dee it gives me a thrill 

To wake up in the morning to the mockin' bird's trill 

Tra-la-la, tweedlee dee dee 

There's peace and goodwill 

You're welcome as the flowers on Mockin'bird Hill 

When the sun in the mornin' peeps over the hill 

And kisses the roses 'round my windowsill 

Then my heart fills with gladness when I hear the trill 

Of those birds in the treetops on Mockin'bird Hill 

CHORUS: 

When it's late in the evenin' I climb up the hill 

And survey all my kingdom while everything's still 

Only me and the sky and an old whippoorwill 

Singing songs in the twilight on Mockin'bird Hill 

CHORUS X 3 with FADE on third 

END OF PAGE'S VERSION 

It has been reported (but I can't confirm) that other versions may contain an 

additional verse: 

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 Mockin'bird Hill
