Lyrics with revisions in word usage
When the sun in the morn - ing peeps o - ver the hill,
and kiss - es the ros - es 'round my win - dow - sill,
then my heart fills with glad - ness when I hear the trill
of the birds in the tree - tops on Mock - ing - bird Hill.
(chorus)
Tra - la - la, twee - dle - ee - dee - dee, it gives me a thrill
to wake up in the morn - ing to the mock - ing - bird's trill.
Tra - la - la, twee - dle - ee - dee - dee, we've peace and good - will.
You're wel - come as the flow - ers on Mock - ing - bird Hill.
I've a three - cor - nered plow and an a - cre to till
and a mule that I bought for a ten - dol - lar bill;
I've a tum - ble - down shack and a rust - y old mill,
but it's my Home Sweet Home up on Mock - ing - bird Hill.
(chorus)
When it's late in the eve - ning I climb up the hill,
and sur - vey all my king - dom while ev - 'ry - thing's still;
on - ly me and the sky and an old whip - poor - will,
sing - ing songs in the twi - light on Mock - ing - bird Hill.
(chorus)
