Lyrics[]
There's a bright, golden haze on the meadow,
There's a bright, golden haze on the meadow
The corn is as high as a elephant's eye,
An' it looks like it's climbin' clear up to the sky
Oh, what a beautiful mornin'!
Oh, what a beautiful day!
I got a beautiful feelin'
Ev'rythin's goin' my way
All the cattle are standin' like statues,
All the cattle are standin' like statues
They don't turn their heads as they see me ride by,
But a little brown mav'rick is winkin' her eye
Oh, what a beautiful mornin'!
Oh, what a beautiful day!
I got a beautiful feelin'
Ev'rythin's goin' my way
All the sounds of the earth are like music,
All the sounds of the earth are like music
The breeze is so busy it don't miss a tree,
And a ol' weepin' willer is laughin' at me
Oh, what a beautiful mornin'!
Oh, what a beautiful day!
I got a beautiful feelin'
Ev'rythin's goin' my way
Oh, what a beautiful day!
