Bobbie Gentry - Local Gentry

Peaceful

Dum diddle dee dum
Diddle dee dum, diddle dee dum
Diddle dee dum, diddle dee dum

In the mornin' sun
No one will be drinkin' any more wine
And I wake the sun up
By givin' him a fresh air full of a wind cup

And I won't be found in the shadows
Hangin' so low
I can wait for fate to bring around to me
Any part of my tomorrow, tomorrow

'Cause it's oh, so peaceful here
No one bendin' over my shoulder
Nobody breathin' in my ear
Oh, so peaceful here

In the evenin' shadows are fallin'
And the dew is settlin' in my mind
And I think of my friends in the yesterday
When my plans were giggled in rhyme

I had a son while on the run
His love put a tear in my eye
But somehow I know if he'd lived to grow
He would've been a pretty nice guy
Oh my, oh my

'Cause it's oh, so peaceful here
No one bendin' over my shoulder
Nobody breathin' in my ear
Oh, so peaceful here

Dum diddle dee dum
Diddle dee dum, diddle dee dum
Diddle dee dum, diddle dee dum

Diddle dee dum, diddle dee dum

Diddle dee dum, diddle dee dum
