Lyrics with revisions in word usage

When the sun in the morn - ing peeps o - ver the hill,

and kiss - es the ros - es 'round my win - dow - sill,

then my heart fills with glad - ness when I hear the trill

of the birds in the tree - tops on Mock - ing - bird Hill.

(chorus)

Tra - la - la, twee - dle - ee - dee - dee, it gives me a thrill

to wake up in the morn - ing to the mock - ing - bird's trill.

Tra - la - la, twee - dle - ee - dee - dee, we've peace and good - will.

You're wel - come as the flow - ers on Mock - ing - bird Hill.

I've a three - cor - nered plow and an a - cre to till

and a mule that I bought for a ten - dol - lar bill;

I've a tum - ble - down shack and a rust - y old mill,

but it's my Home Sweet Home up on Mock - ing - bird Hill.

(chorus)

When it's late in the eve - ning I climb up the hill,

and sur - vey all my king - dom while ev - 'ry - thing's still;

on - ly me and the sky and an old whip - poor - will,

sing - ing songs in the twi - light on Mock - ing - bird Hill.

(chorus)
