On a summer day, under clear blue skies, My troubles flitter away like a little bird I'm in paradise Where the waters fall and the mountains rise Far away from the rustle of the city I'm in paradise On my big brown bay I drift away Stirrups dangling down there A swing into the rhythm of the music that plays When the meadowlark sings And the cool wind whispers Right around me Where the cattle graze along the green hillsides No worries in the world today I'm in paradise
