Lyrics It's So Peaceful In The Country - Mildred Bailey

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 (do-do)
In the country (do-do)

It's so simple and quite
Someday you're bound to try it
The only place to be
The 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 of 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
