Lyrics Mountain Greenery - Ella Fitzgerald

Mountain Greenery

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 our mountain greenery
Where God paints the scenery
Just two crazy people together
While you love your lover
Let blue skies be your coverlet
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 looking
Beans could get no keener
Reception in a beanery
Bless our mountain greenery home
Mosquitoes here
Won’t bite you dear
Well, I’ll let them sting me on the finger
We could find no cleaner retreat
From life’s machinery
Bless our mountain greenery home
Our mountain greenery home
