It’s So Peaceful In The Country - Mildred Bailey, Others

It’s so peaceful in the country

It’s so simple and quiet

You really ought to try it

You walk about and talk about

The pleasant things in life

It’s so restful in the country

It’s the right kind of diet

You really ought to try it

You lie and dream

Beside a stream

Where daisies nod hello

City living is a pretty living

It’s so full of unexpected thrills

But there’s too much stone

Too much telephone

There’s too much of everything but trees and hills

It’s so peaceful in the country

It’s so simple and quite

Someday you’re bound to try it

The only place to be

Is a place for you and me

Where it’s peaceful in the country

The skyline of New York is a splendid sight

I know Chicago’s loop is magical at night

The natives of Cleveland from Frisco and Boston

And natives of cities a stranger gets lost in

All of them claim that their city’s the best

From deep in the south and from out in the west

Perhaps it’s all true but from my point of view

It’s so peaceful in the country

It’s so simple and quiet

Someday you’re bound to try it

The only place to be

Is a place for you and me

Where it’s peaceful in the country
