I love you a bushel and a peck
a bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck
a hug around the neck and a barrel in a heap
a barrel in a heap and I'm talking in my sleep
about you about you
cause I love you a bushel and a peck
you bet your pretty neck I do
I love you a bushel and a peck
A bushel and a peck though you make my heart a wreck
Make my heart a wreck and you make my life a mess
Make my life a mess, yes a mess of happiness
about you about you
cause I love you a bushel and a peck
you bet your pretty neck I do

Good Morning

You gotta get up, get out of bed
You gotta get up, you sleepy head
The day's going just for you
And all your dreams are coming true
Good morning, good morning, good morning
It's time to rise and shine
Good morning, good morning, good morning
I hope you're feeling fine
You gotta get up, get out of bed
You gotta get up, you sleepy head
The day's going just for you
And all your dreams are coming true
The sun is just above the hill
Another day for us to fill
With all the things we love to do
Oh, can't you hear, it's calling you
Good morning, good morning, good morning
It's time to rise and shine
Good morning, good morning, good morning
I hope you're feeling fine
You gotta get up, get out of bed
You gotta get up, you sleepy head
The day's going just for you
And all your dreams are coming true

Sweet Violets

There once was a farmer who took a young miss
In back of the barn where he gave her a
Lecture on horses and chickens and eggs
And told her that she has such beautiful
Manners that suited a girl of her charms
A girl that he wanted to take in his
Washing and ironing, and then if she did
They could get married and raise lots of
Sweet violets, sweeter than all the roses
Covered all over from head to toe
Covered all over with sweet violets
The girl told the farmer that he'd better stop
she told her father and he called a
Taxi and got there before very long
Someone was doing his little girl
Right for a change, and that’s when he said:
"If you marry her, son, you're better off
Single 'cause it's always been my belief
Marriage can bring a man nothing but
Sweet violets, sweeter than all the roses
Covered all over from head to toe
Covered all over with sweet violets
The farmer decided he'd wed anyway,
Started in planning for his wedding
Suit that he purchased for only one buck
Then he found out he was just out of
Money and so he got left in the lurch,
Standing and waiting in front of the
End of this story, which just goes to show
All a girl wants from a man is his
Sweet violets, sweeter than the roses
Covered all over from head to toe
Covered all over with sweet violets

My mom gave me a nickel to buy a pickle
I didn't buy a pickle, I bought some choo'n gum
Choo, choo, choo, choo, choo'n gum, How I love choo'n gum
I'm crazy over choo'n gum. What can I do?
My aunt gave me a quarter for soda water
I didn't buy the water, I bought some choo'n gum
Choo, choo, choo, choo, choo'n gum, How I love choo'n gum
I'm crazy over choo'n gum. What can I do?
I chew the day away it seems
I'm even blowing bubbles in my dreams
My pop gave me a dollar to buy a collar
You should have heard him holler when I bought some choo'n gum
Choo, choo, choo, choo, choo'n gum, How I love choo'n gum
I'm crazy over choo'n gum. What can I do?
Each time I find myself with a dime
I hurry to the store
Cause' the boy who sells me choo’n gum
Is the one that I adore
My mom gave me a nickel to buy a pickle
I didn't buy a pickle, I bought some choo'n gum
Choo, choo, choo, choo, choo'n gum How I love choo'n gum
I'm crazy over choo'n gum I choo, choo, choo

Skeeters are a hummin’ on the honeysuckle vine
Sleep Kentucky Babe
Sandman am a comin’ to this little one of mine
Sleep Kentucky Babe
Silv'ry moon am shinin’ in the heavens up above
Bob o’ link am pinin’ for his little lady love
You is mighty lucky, Babe of old Kentucky
Close your eyes in sleep
Fly away
Fly away Kentucky babe
Fly away to rest
Fly a way
Lay you little curly head
On your mamma’s chest
Hmm, Hmm
Close your eyes in sleep

Nathaniel's Dream

Day of Light has said goodnight
Lay my head upon the sky
And I fly so high close my eyes
And I fly
Tucked between two cotton clouds
Flying high I’m safe and sound
And I fly so high close my eyes
Dreams in flight
out of sight
ooooohhh
Twilight hums goodbye my friend
Engines whisper time to land
And I say farewell till we board again

Tenderly, Jesus loves you
Every hour of every day
Watching o'er when you’re sleeping
Close beside you when you play
Angels from up above
Rest on your pillow
Helping the Lord of love
To guide you each day
Hush-a-by, Hush-a-by
My sweet one
Tenderly, Jesus loves you
Every hour of every day
Every hour of every day

I feel in love with the music of Don & Karen Peris years ago. Their music reaches through a stormy day to give you peace and rest. My favorite track on this album is Brotherhood of Man.
