Ives, Burl - Mockin' Bird Hill Lyrics

Merry Christmas and Happy New Years to you  And Santa Claus is Watching you

ages since i heard this thanks ronja

When the sun in the morning peeps over the hill
And kisses the roses 'round my window sill
Then my heart fills with gladness when I hear the trill
Of the birds in the treetops on Mockingbird Hill
Tra la la, tweedle dee dee dee
It gives me a thrill
To wake up in the morning
To the mockingbird's trill
Tra la la tweedle dee dee dee
There's peace and good will
You're welcome as the flowers
On Mockingbird Hill
Got a three-cornered plow and an acre to till
And a mule that I bought for a ten-dollar bill
There's a tumble-down shack and a rusty old mill
But it's my Home Sweet Home up on Mockingbird Hill
Tra la la, tweedle dee dee dee
It gives me a thrill
To wake up in the morning
To the mockingbird's trill
Tra la la tweedle dee dee dee
There's peace and good will
You're welcome as the flowers
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
Singin' songs in the twilight on Mockingbird Hill
Tra la la, tweedle dee dee dee
It gives me a thrill
To wake up in the morning
To the mockingbird's trill
Tra la la tweedle dee dee dee
There's peace and good will
You're welcome as the flowers
On Mockingbird Hill

Burl Ives brilliant for sure.

rember this, when my gran play,! a kid 70s,!

👍👍👍👍 I love it so great 👍👍👍👍

I'd come home from work, have supper then in my recliner with my daughter in my lad and we'd the show

Can't get better than this true music

Nagyon kedves szép muzsika! Remek videó,köszönöm szépen!

Burl Ives is just the greatest! Burl Ives is Christmas to me singing in Rudolph The Rednosed Reindeer and Holly Jolly Christmas.

This is one of the records I grew up with. It was my parent’s’ record, but I played it a lot. I had one of those plastic horses attached to a metal frame with springs so it would rock and bounce. I used to get on it and listen to records. I still have this exact same record. I haven’t played it in ages, but I still have it.

heard this , when a kid, in the 70s,UK, born 1968,!

My sister and I sang this on the radio in 1950!

A mule for ten dollars ha!

Great voice.

Folk music at its simplest ,,,well done burl you make it sound so easy ,,,,,

Who will ever take Burl_Ives place?

I copied this comment from boy tony`s comment ,to me it sounded so neat .When the sun in the morning peeps over the hill
And kisses the roses 'round my window sill
Then my heart fills with gladness when I hear the trill
Of the birds in the treetops on Mockingbird Hill

wish ,was , my gran, was here now,, / fuck she would love to hear old , great songs she loved back from the 50s,!etc:,!!

Whenever i listen to this song i always want to cry. This was me and my grandmas song. Shes 75 years old (shes still here) but just remembering being little with no problems and riding around in her car listening to this song just makes me so sad ill never have that again. :c <3

Besided being a great folk singer Burl was a great actor I love his singing and acting

Great singer, I love all his Xmas tunes.

I have his album of CHRISTMAS songs.🎶🎄🎄

1st heard as a kid him,! 70s, ! I born 1968,!

"mockingbird shrill??"

State bird of Tennessee and Florida??

That was a question when it is a fact. I hear them every day here in St. Augustine, Florida

I love that song and the man sang it

brilliant

I am 92 years old and I have been enjoying Burl Ives all my adult life.

way befor I was born,, , but heared  my Da & Ma  , say when I was a kid 70s, , 1968  I born !hear , 70s,

Man what a actor he was truly great.

Always loved Burl, singing, and acting. I was lucky enough to have seen him in person in Toronto, about 30 years ago. I was born in 1944 and enjoyed his music from a very young age.

My dad would sing this song to me when I was a kid, sometimes he’d wake me up to it. Never a bad day when you’re woken up to this

I share these beauties with my children & now Grandchildren. They love them. My Son & Grandson would suprise me when they played some of these oldies on their guitars. Pure music

LOVE IT THANK

Back in my day (now 73) radio programs played music and this would be one of the popular tunes of the day. Now a days, I have no idea where people listen to music....

tjenna ! tjenna! It makes me smile.

This is such a classic! If you find yourself having a tendency to sway side to side, you can attribute that to the use of 3/4, or waltz tempo. Sometimes he kind of sounds

like Perry Como to me (with slightly more rasp). I have a few records of his - particularly 45 r.p.m. multi-track. While we associate multi-track records with 33-1/3, 12" LPs, many 45s came that way as well. I might even have a few of his 10" 78 pressings somewhere around here.

Love this song, Burl Ives sings it nicely too..grew up hearing this happy song!

Does anyone picture Thanos' dream-world at the end of the last AVENGERS movie when they hear this?

Burl Ives was one of a kind . They don't write songs like this anymore. my favorite song from my youth.

See pictures of Burl Ives in the bathtub taking a bubble bath in The Spiral Road. His huge gluttonous belly is unbelievable. His exposed naval is cute. His titties are cute. Burl Ives has big boobs for a man and a plump pink bare butt. He has extra large testicles and a small soft cock.

I just love him

beautiful song!

I love old country like this

Mr. Mellow love anything he sings

See pictures of Burl Ives in the bathtub taking a bubble bath. He looks so cute. His exposed naval is cute. Also, Burl Ives has big boobs for a man.

There's peace and good will
You're welcome as the flowers
On Mockingbird Hill

My Dad sang this to me every day on my way to preschool. I’m 36 and he is 68 and we still sing it. Such a sweet song❤️

Burl Ives a nice person with personality and a beautiful and unique voice. And a good actor too.

He is Great to listening to

love love love burl ivesssssssssssssssssssssss

My dad used to sing this to me when I was younger to put me to sleep. 😍😊

Reminds me of Saturdays with my dad!

🐧🐵

I love this song period

All way like Burl Ives lovely voice.💿

Thank you very much for the lyrics, I put it into the description! :)

Go optimistic compared to how many people carry themselves today.

beautiful voice great post j vincent edwards

The 38 people who disliked this need to rethink their lives

No matter how good any video is, there is always someone to give a thumbs down. My theory is there are three reasons. 1: Some people are ignorant, 2: Some people hit the thumbs down by accident. 3: Some people are stupid.

Always loved this by Burl Ives!

A little bitty tear let me down/ burl Ives

I'm 20. My grandmother sang this song to my mother when she was a little girl, and my mother sang this to me when I was a little boy. My grandmother was 88 when she passed in 2013. I always come and find this song to remind me of my grandma.

Harry Patton ❤️❤️❤️

WOW WOW WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
From a mad keen 74yo Aussie fan.

People now a days don't appreciate good country from years ago burl ices is one of the best love every one of his songs

Brilliant singer

An America I wish could come back

And now 26 nitwits. Oh well, they don't like it and they're gone from Mockin' Bird Hill.

They must have been disappointed because there is no cheating, broken heart beer!

"...there's peace and goodwill".   That line clearly describes the voice of Mr. Burl Ives.  As a boy, my mom would put me to bed and play Burl Ives on the stereo.   I would lie there and listen to this song and other's like Down in the Valley, Ghost Riders in the Sky, Blue Tail Fly and Big Rock Candy Mountain and then fall fast asleep.    His voice is just PERFECT for folk songs...a real American Treasure from a simpler time in America!

My mother sang this to me as a child, as she drove me to school. I miss you, and your lovely voice Mom. But I will see you soon, and hope you sing this to me as you greet me. :)

Can't imagine why it took this long to appreciate Burl Ives. Guess our values change with age. Those of us who are lucky acquire a little wisdom, I guess.

Although my fav version is Les Paul and Mary Ford, this is equally beautiful. Thank you.

I'm having to sing this for my seven month old son alot. it calms him down

Burl, the one only great balladeer!

Never heard this version before, but can't complain... Fast, but my Gma liked this song, I wonder if she'd like it in a "super-speed" version...
Thanks

I'm baffled!!!! How can anyone give this a thumbs down? They must be ignorant blithering idiots.

Something special.

I saw Burl Ives several years ago in concert!   A genuine music treasure!

Awesome@ Awesome!

I have been listening to Burl since i was 4 yrs of age, I am now 66 yrs old and i never tire of hearing one of the true greats.

Liam Gaule I’ve been listening to him since I was about the same age! I’m 24 he reminds me of my childhood.

Burl Ives brings back memories of childhood.

His name is an anagram (jumble) for Rub Elvis.

one of,the best

Robert Evers royal telephone

love this song

1st hear as a kid in the 70s ,!

Ain't this just the most wonderful thrill?
Even to old grumps - c'mon smile and enjoy this!
Burle Ives is just great!

Would the 10 people who voted down on this song get the heck out of Mocking Bird Hill and leave it for those of us who appreciate the beauty and tranquility of this magical place.

OLD SONG COOL

To each his own....music is the variety of life.........

Now it,s more .

AMEN...

Nydelig !!

Was my Grandmother's favorite and brings back great memories of her and listening to Burl Ives as a young lad here in Sri Lanka.

Hai, Aibhuvan! I was a regular listener of SLBC English services since 1967 to 2007. I also had spoken with its Announcers-Niranjan Abay Sundra, Roshan Abaysekara, Indrani Senanayake, and KS Sivakumaran. In 2007, one summer Sunday morning, Niranjan played the song "Tra-la-la-di di dee dee dee dee-( Mockingbird hill song) by a band that sounded like Foster & Allen in the beat like, " From a jack to a king" song's tempo. Can u please let me know the Artist/band please ?The voice was almost like Foster.

I Have been known to the Sri Lankan SLBC regular listeners( like Hiranthi From Galle ) as K.S.Manian from Ozar Nasik, Maharshtra, India.

I had recorded the song in cassette but poor audio signal was the reason I couldnt enjoy it & got me disappointed.

Have u ever heard the song Mockingbird hill by another band in the tempo like "From a jack to a king"( Foster & Alen) that was played in SLBC Asia ( Eng) service sometimes ago?

I could listen to him singing all day

very good
