Verse:
Got a three corner plow and an acre to till
A mule that I bought for a ten dollar bill
There?s a tumble down shack and an old rusty mill
It?s my home sweet home up on mockingbird hill
When it?s late in the evening, I climb up the hill
And survey all my kingdom while everything?s still
Only me and the sky and an old whippoorwill
It?s my home sweet home up on mockingbird hill
Alt. verse:
Tra la la la, tra la la li, it gives me a thrill
To wake up in the morning to the mockingbirds trill
tra la la la, tra la la li, there?s peace and goodwill
Your welcome as the flowers on Mockingbird Hill
