Down in the Meadow

"RIVER OF NO RETURN"

When Mr. South Wind sighs in the pines

Old Mr. Winter whimpers and whines

Down in the meadow, under the snow

April is teaching green things to grow

When Mr. West Wind howls in a glade

Old Mr. Summer nods in the shade

Down in the meadow, deep in the brook

Catfish are waiting for the hook

Old Lady Blackbird flirts with the scarecrow

Scarecrow is waving at the moon

Old Mr. Moon makes hearts everywhere go bump, bump

With the magic of June

When Mr. East Wind shouts over head

Then all the leaves turn yellow and red

Down in the meadow corn stocks are high

Pumpkins are ripe and ready for pie

Old Lady Blackbird flirts with the scarecrow

Scarecrow's waving at the Moon

Old Mr. Moon makes hearts everywhere go bump-bump

With the magic of June

When Mr. North Wind rolls on the breeze

Old father Christmas trims over trees

Down in the meadow snow shoftly gleams

Earth goes to sleep and smiles in her dreams
