You des take a Li1' of de blu-est of de skies,
A cloud for de lash-es and you got Miss Mary's eyes
Dats de way you feelin' wen dey look-in' sweet at you,
Dey twin-kle In de sun-shine, an its rain-in' 'round em too.
Sweet Miss Ma-ry, Sweet-er than you know, Is de Mockin'-bird you' sweet-heart,
Why he sing-in' ter yer so? Sweet Miss Ma- ry, sweet- er dan you know,
Is de Mockin'-bird you' sweet-heart; Why he sing in' ter yer so?
De rose in de gar-den des waits for her to pass
En hopes ditt its col-or des will match her cheeks at las'
Thrush- es In de hedg- es stop dey mer-ry morn-in' song
W'en ev- e'r sweet Miss Mary comes a sin- gin' down a- long.
Sweet Miss Ma.- ry, Sweet- er dan you know, Is de mock- in' bird you' sweetheart,
Why he sing- in' ter yer so Sweet Miss Ma-ry sweet-er d'oan you know,
Is de mock-in'-bird "You' sweet-heart why he sing- in' ter 'er so?
