Mountain Greenery - Ruby Braff, Ellis Larkins

On the first of May, this is moving day

Spring is here, so blow your job

Throw your job away

Now’s the time to thrust 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 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 looking

Beans could get no keener reception

In a beanery bless

Our mountain greenery home

In our mountain greenery

Where God paints the scenery

Just two crazy people together

Oh, how we love sequestering

Where no pests are pestering

No dear Momma holds us in tether

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

In our mountain greenery

Where God paints the scenery

In our mountain greenery home
