The Supremes - Mountain Greenery lyrics

rate me

(Richard Rodgers / Lorentz Hart)

From The Garrick Gaities (1925).

In our mountain greenery

Where God paints the scenery

Just three crazy people together.

Ooo, while you love your lover

Let blue skies be your coverlet

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 a-looking.

Ooo, beans could get no

keener reception in a beanery

Bless our mountain greenery home.

In the mountain greenery

(Where God) Where God paints the scenery

(Just us three) Just three crazy people together

(How) How we love sequestering

(Where no) Where no pests are pestering

(Pestering) No man holds us in a tether.

Mosquitoes here won't bite your ear

I'll let them sting me on my finger

We could find no cleaner retreat from life's machinery

Than our mountain greenery with its mountain scenery

Bless our montain greenery home
