Lyrics

The squirrels have a garden up in the pines
They never have to weed it or fertilize.
Yellowy sundrops growing on vines
Oh how I love my jessamine!

CHORUS: Jessamine, Jessamine
Climbing to the top of the trees
Jessamine, Jessamine
Welcomin? the Florida spring.

Every March, it?s like a surprise
Just when the green is a-thrillin? my eyes
Yellowy joydrops smile at the skies
Oh how I love my jessamine! (Chorus)

If I were a birdie up in the pines
I?d build me a nest by the jasmine vine
Yellowy songdrops, ?ever be mine
Oh how I love my jessamine! (Chorus)

In the beginning, God had to grin
When He created the jessamine
Yellowy fundrops, bloomin? again!
Oh how I love my jessamine! (Chorus)





ya did again as always......there is a nice listing for lullaby's jump on it...

Good children song

Extremely well done children's song. Well written, performed, recorded, mixed and mastered. Love that its accompanied by children's voices giving it a "live" feel. Mouth harp is also very well done.

Beautiful vocals and rhythm guitar, great message - very inspirational song, I really like the harmonica as well.

Nice and friendly song very well played instruments and the childeren choir makes it all together.
