As recorded by BING CROSBY with Lennie Hayton's Orch.:

I'm tired of all the hurry of modern city ways
I'm tired of all the worry of those city days
I'm through with all the riot of glaring city lights
Give me that gorgeous quiet of those country nights

Take me where the daisies
Cover the country lanes
We'll make hay while the sun shines
We'll make love when it rains

Take me where the song birds
Thrill you with sweet refrains
We'll make hay while the sun shines
We'll make love when it rains

From the hustle and the bustle of the city
We'll become a pair of country folks
And in a little cottage sittin' pretty
We'll be Mr. and Mrs. Doakes

Oh, will you take me where the daisies
Cover the country lanes
We'll make hay while the sun shines
We'll make love when it rains

(Orchestral Interlude)

From the hustle and the bustle of the city
We'll become a pair of country folks
And in that little cottage sittin' pretty
We'll be Mr. and Mrs. Doakes

Oh, will you take me where those daisies
Cover the country lanes
We'll make hay while the sun shines
We'll make love when it rains
