Lyrics Ella Fitzgerald

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 a mountain greenery

Where God paints the scenery

Just two crazy

People together

While you love your lover

Let blue skies be your cover

Let, 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 lookin'

Beans could get no keener

Reception in a beanery

Bless our mountain

Greenery home

Mosquitoes here

Won't bite you dear

I'll let them sting

Me on the finger

We could find no cleaner

Retreat from life's machinery

Than our mountain

Greenery home
