Up on a mountain so gay and so free
There is a young man,
he's waiting there for me
An d out on the lake
we'll drift with the tide
And hear those chime bells ring
Chime bells are ringing, your lady
Mockingbirds are singing
yod -a -lay, yod -a -lay -tee
Hush, little lover, yod -a -lay -tee
Up on a summer's eve
Well, moonbeams were shining
as I kissed him there
Nightbirds were singing,
perfume filled the air
Each little star where they twinkled above
As heaven smiled on our love
Oh, chime bells are ringing,
oh -da -lay -dee
Mockingbirds are singing,
oh -da -lay, oh -da -lay -dee
Hush, little lover, oh -da -lay -dee
Up on a summer's eve
Oh -da -lay -dee,
oh -da -lay -oh -dee
Oh -da -lay, oh -da -lay -dee,
oh -da -lay -oh -dee
Oh -da -lay -dee, oh -da -lay -oh -dee
Oh, do -do -do -do -do -do -do -do -do -do -do -do -do -do -do -do -do -do -do -do
-do -do -do -do -do -do -do -do -do -do -do -do -do -do -do -do
