1. All the people of today, they are going far away
A A7 D
to
the mountains, the lakes, or the sea.

There's a little spot out west
that I always loved the best,
A A7 D
and
there's someone a-waiting for me.
D
She'll be happy (she'll be happy), she'll be free (she'll be free)
A D
when she wanders, alone with me.

me.

among the breeze,

to
build a little home for you and me.

3. Oh, the birds that fly above singing dear
songs of love
A A7 D
o'er
the meadows, the valleys so deep,

their
voices so sweet that they sing me to sleep

for I
know my darling will not weep.

She'll be happy (she'll be happy), she'll be free (she'll be free)
A D
when she wanders, alone with me.
