Mountain Greenery

(Richard Rodgers/Lorentz Hart)

In a mountain greenery
Where God paints the scenery
Just two crazy people together
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 looking

Beans could get no keener reception
In a beanery
Bless our mountain greenery homeIn a mountain greenery
Where God paints the scenery
Just three crazy people together
How we love sequestering
Where no pests are pestering
No men holds us together

Mosquitoes here
Won't bite you, dear
I'll let them sting
Me on my finger

We could find no cleaner retreat
From life's machinery
Than our mountain greenery
