I`m tired of the noise and hurly-burly
that fills the city late and early.
I long to hear the music of the used-to-be
that mother nature made for me.
I want to wander where the skies are blue,
where birds are singing all the long day through,
the music that I love to listen to
down on melody farm.
The cowbells tinkle in the early morn.
the bees are buzzin` `round a field of corn,
to tell me that another song is born
down on melody farm.
The lazy river is drifting along
while daffodils dance on a hill
and while it`s drifting it composes a song
to a water lily.
The morning sings the golden melody,
the evening brings the moonlight symphony,
for all the world is wrapped in harmony
down on melody farm.
I`m gonna pack my bag,
I`m gonna clear my brain,
and then I`m gonna buy a one-way ticket
on the fastest choo-choo train.
I`m gonna try to find
a little peace of mind.
I wanna leave the sound of rivets
and the horns of taxis way behind.
I want to run through the fields of the new-mown hay
and at the close of day
let me stray
where I hear the organ playing.
Just a song at twighlight
when the lights are low.
I wanna go,
I wanna go
I wanna be a little country girl in calico.
The morning sings the golden melody,
the evening brings the moonlight symphony,
for all the world is wrapped in harmony
down on melody farm.
