A hatchet, a hammer, a bucket of nails

an' all the wood I can find

I'll build me a cabin on top of the hill

got all the plans in my mind . . .



Where the tree tops talk to the wind

where the eagle flies

I'll bring her to see it the minute I'm through

won't she light up with surprise!



A hatchet, a hammer, a bucket of nails

an' just my two hands, but with some help from above

The walls will start risin', the roof will go on

the final touch will be love . . .



Where the tree tops talk to the wind

where the eagle flies

The preacher will bless us as we hurry to

our happy home in the skies . . .



As soon as we're married,

we're movin' in to

our happy home in the skies . . .



( A hatchet, a hammer, a bucket of nails . . . )

Our happy home in the skies . . .
