HIGH UPON A HILL TOP
(Abel Baer / Ian Campbell / George Whiting)


Annette Hanshaw - 1928
Frankie Trumbauer & His Orch. - 1928



I stop worryin' when I start hurryin' away
From all my daily cares and lonesomeness
Twilight's hour finds me in a bower
Where the skies are blue
And here the birds-eye view of happiness

High up on a hill top, beautiful to see
Theres a cosy cottage standing peacefully
Skies are never cloudy when the day is done
Stars are twinkling "howdy" to a setting sun

Just picture little Jack and Jill running down the hill to meet me
And theres my little lady fair, waiting for her share of joy
Hand in hand together, just as happy as can be
High upon a hill top, thats heaven to me

High upon a hill top, oh, beautiful to see
Theres a cosy cottage thats standing peacefully, mmm-mmm-mmm
Skies are never cloudy when the day is done
Little stars are twinklin' "howdy" to a setting sun

Just picture little Jack and Jill running down the hill to meet me
And theres my little lady fair, waiting for her share of joy
Hand in hand together, just as happy as can be
High upon a hill top, so high, thats heaven to me

Thats heaven, heaven, to me
Thats all!
