Lyrics Down on a Melody Farm - Judy Garland

Down on a Melody Farm

I’m tired of the noise and hurly-burly
That fills the city late and early
I long to hear the music of the used-to-be
That mother nature made for me
I want to wander where the skies are blue
Where birds are singing all the long day through
The music that I love to listen to
Down on melody farm
The cowbells tinkle in the early morn
The bees are buzzin' 'round a field of corn
To tell me that another song is born
Down on melody farm
The lazy river is drifting along
While daffodils dance on a hill
And while it’s drifting it composes a song
To a water lily
The morning sings the golden melody
The evening brings the moonlight symphony
For all the world is wrapped in harmony
Down on melody farm
I’m gonna pack my bag
I’m gonna clear my brain
And then I’m gonna buy a one-way ticket
On the fastest choo-choo train
I’m gonna try to find
A little peace of mind
I wanna leave the sound of rivets
And the horns of taxis way behind
I want to run through the fields of the new-mown hay
And at the close of day
Let me stray
Where I hear the organ playing
Just a song at twighlight
When the lights are low
I wanna go
I wanna go
I wanna be a little country girl in calico
The morning sings the golden melody
The evening brings the moonlight symphony
For all the world is wrapped in harmony
Down on melody farm
