I Have Considered The Lilies
Connie Converse
3:43In between two tall mountains There's a place they call Lonesome Don't see why they call it Lonesome I'm never lonesome when I go there See that bird sitting on my window sill Well he's singing whippoorwill all the night through See that brook running by my kitchen door Well it couldn't talk no more if it was you Up that tree there's sort of a squirrel thing Sounds just like we did when we were quarreling In the yard I keep a pig or two They drop in for dinner like you used to do I don't stand in the need of company With everything I see talking like you Up that tree there's sort of a squirrel thing Sounds just like we did when we were quarreling You may think you left me all alone But I can hear you talk without a telephone I don't stand in the need of company With everything I see talking like you See that bird sitting on my window sill Well he's singing whippoorwill all the night through Just whippoorwill, all the night through In between two tall mountains There's a place they call Lonesome Don't see why they call it Lonesome I'm never lonesome, now I live there
