McLintock's Theme (Love In The Country)    (1963)

Love in the country
Where skies are blue
All you'll be dreaming of
Are the birds and the bees and the flowers and the trees
Till you're up to your knees in love
There's a treehouse in the meadow
Below the mountain peak
The perfect place for lovers
When they play hide and seek

There's a covered bridge at Crippled Creek
Where the horses always stop
'Tween the treehouse
And the covered bridge
That's how Mom won Pop
By making love in the country
Where skies are blue
All you'll be dreaming of
Are the birds and the bees and the flowers and the trees
Till you're up to your knees in love

There are roses on the trellis
And the scent of new-mown hay
The clingin' vine is jealous
On the fence across the way
There's a great big yellow moon above
And a breeze to sing a song
'Tween the roses and the yellow moon
A fella can't go wrong
When he makes
Love in the country

Where skies are blue
All you'll be dreamin' of
Are the birds and the bees and the flowers and the trees
Till you're up to your knees in love
