Song: Mocking Bird Hill Artist: Slim Whitman Please click to enjoy: Mocking Hill Bird
When the sun in the morning Peeps over the hill And kisses the roses Round my windowsill Then my heart fills with gladness When I hear the trill Of the birds in the treetops On Mockin' Bird Hill
Tra-la-la, twiddly-dee-dee It gives me a thrill To wake up in the morning To the mockingbird's trill Tra-la-la, twiddly-dee-dee There's peace and goodwill You're welcome as the flowers On Mockin' Bird Hill
When it's late in the evening I climb up the hill And survey all my kingdom While everything's still Only me and the sky And an old whippoorwill It is my home Sweet home above mocking hill
