High-High-High Up In The Hills 1927

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 14 Feb 2005

Twenty four hours a day,
eight of them meant for play,
some of them meant for work
and the rest for dreaming.
I could spend twenty four,
knocking on nature's door,
laughter and song
could anyone ask for more.

I'm always high, high, high
up in the hills,
watching the clouds roll by.
High, high, high up in the hills,
shaking hands with the sky,
come on and be like me,
happy and gay,
you ought to meet the sun half of the way.
I'm always high, high, high up in the hills,
watching the clouds roll by.

High, high, high
up in the hills,
watching the clouds roll by.
High, high, high up in the hills,
shaking hands with the sky,
come on and be like me,
happy and gay,
you ought to meet the sun half of the way.
I'm always high, high, high up in the hills,
watching the clouds roll by.

Where do the flowers grow,
where do the birdies go?
Follow them to their beautiful home of sunshine.
City folks never play,
busy thro' out the day,
tickle me so, I'll know
that I'm far away.

I'm always high, high, high
up in the hills,
watching the clouds roll by.
High, high, high up in the hills,
shaking hands with the sky,
come on and be like me,
happy and gay,
you ought to meet the sun half of the way.
I'm always high, high, high up in the hills,
watching the clouds roll by.

High, high, high
up in the hills,
watching the clouds roll by.
High, high, high up in the hills,
shaking hands with the sky,
come on and be like me,
happy and gay,
you ought to meet the sun half of the way.
I'm always high, high, high up in the hills,
watching the clouds roll by.
