Lyrics
When the sun in the mornin’ peeps over the hill
And kisses the roses ‘round my window sill;
Then my heart fills with gladness when I hear the trill
Of those birds in the tree tops on Mockin’ Bird Hill.

(Chorus)
Tra-la-la tweedlee dee dee, it gives me a thrill
To wake up in the morning to the mockin’ bird’s trill;
Tra-la-la tweedlee dee dee,
There’s peace and goodwill;
You’re welcome as the flowers on the Mockin’ Bird Hill.

Got a three cornered plow and an acre to till
And a mule that I bought for a ten dollar bill;
There’s a tumble down shack and a rusty ol’ mill,
But it’s Home Sweet Home up on Mockin’ Bird Hill.

(Chorus)

When it’s late in the evening I climb up the hill
And survey all the kingdom while everything’s still;
Only me and the sky and an ol’ whip-poor will,
Singin’ songs in the twilight on Mockin’ Bird Hill
