Down on 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.
