(Jimmy Driftwood)
Floating on the Buffalo
In the sunset's afterglow
There's no place that thrills me so
Tis a heaven where I'd love to go
Visions of a happy day
Merry hours to while away
There where all is pride and gay
Tis the beautiful Ozarks, I say
Beautiful Ozarks, filled with delight
Under the moon, a lovely night
Floating along, a beautiful sight
Oh that I shall be
There where the flowers are blooming
Songbirds so sweetly are crooning
And in my dreams, so often it seems
The beautiful Ozarks, I see
Oh that I may linger here
Hours of bliss, my heart to cheer
In the land of love, so near
The beautiful Ozarks, so dear
Happy days soon pass away
When I must be on my way
I'll return another day
To the beautiful Ozarks, to stay
Beautiful Ozarks, filled with delight
Under the moon, a lovely night
Floating along, a beautiful sight
Oh that I shall be
There where the flowers are blooming
Songbirds so sweetly are crooning
And in my dreams, so often it seems
The beautiful Ozarks, I see
