Mockin' Bird Hill
Les Paul Mary Ford Lyrics

When the sun in the mornin' peeps over the hill
As the sun rises in the morning, and peeps over the hill, I awaken from my slumber.

And kisses the roses 'round my window sill
The sun's rays softly kiss the roses blooming on my windowsill.

Then my heart fills with gladness when I hear the trill
As I listen to the birds' sweet melodies, my heart overflows with joy.

Of those birds in the treetops on mockin' bird hill
As the birds sing from their perches in the treetops, I am filled with wonder and serenity.

Tra-la-la, tweedlee dee dee, it gives me a thrill
The tune of the birds gives me immense pleasure and joy, making me feel like singing along.

To wake up in the morning to the mockin' bird's trill
I love waking up to the sound of nature's music, especially the exquisite trill of the mockingbirds.

There's peace and goodwill
In this peaceful and serene environment of nature, there is only an abundance of love and goodwill.

You're welcome as the flowers on the mockin' bird hill
Everyone is welcome to join and appreciate the beauty of nature, just like the flowers blooming on the mockingbird hill.

When it's late in the evenin' I climb up the hill
In the evening, when the sun is retreating, I climb up the hill to better appreciate the view.

And survey all my kingdom while everything's still
From the hilltop, I survey the vastness of the land beneath me, taking in the peaceful quietness of the night.

Only me and the sky and an old whippoorwill
In the stillness of the night, there is only me surrounded by the vast sky, the only sound coming from a nearby whippoorwill.

Singing songs in the twilight on mockin' bird hill
As the sun sets in the horizon, and the night sky begins to set in, the songs of the mockingbirds can still be heard filling the twilight air.
