Lyrics
I’m tired of all the hurry of modern city ways
I’m tired of all the worry of those city days
I’m through with all the riot of glaring city lights
Give me that gorgeous quiet of those country nights
Chorus
Take me where the daisies
Cover the country lanes
We’ll make hay while the sun shines
We’ll make love when it rains
Take me where the song birds
Thrill you with sweet refrains
We’ll make hay while the sun shines
We’ll make love when it rains
From the hustle and the bustle of the city
We’ll become a pair of country folks
And in a little cottage sittin’ pretty
We’ll be Mr. and Mrs. Doakes
Take me where the daisies
Cover the country lanes
We’ll make hay while the sun shines
We’ll make love when it rains
