RAINBOW VALLEY
>From the film "Waterhole #3" (1967)
(Robert Wells / Dave Grusin)


Roger Miller - 1967





I'm going home to Rainbow Valley
I've been away away too long
Longing to see those purple mountains
Smell the meadows green and hear the bluebirds song

When I started to roam
I was barely seventeen
Guess a man has to leave
'Fore he learns what home can mean

Going home to Rainbow Valley 
Gonna settle down right there in my home town

Yes, it's a one whistle town
Lots of others are the same
'Cept that folks lend a hand
And they call you by your name

Goin' home to Rainbow Valley
Gonna settle down right there in my home town
