I Love the Mountains (Boom-De-Ya-Da) - Lyrics & Videos

This song was one we sang daily at summer camp.

I love the mountains
I love the rolling hills,
I love the flowers
I love the daffodils.

I love the fireside
When all the lights are low

Boom-dee-ya-da, boom-dee-ah-da,
Boom-dee-ya-da, boom-dee-ah-da,
Boom-dee-ya-da, boom-dee-ah-da,
Boom-dee-ya-da, boom-dee-ah-da,

See below for additional and alternative lyrics.

Little Miss Ann – “I Love the Mountains”  A nice version with these added lyrics:

I love the ocean
I love the open sea
I love the forest
I love the bumblebees
I love the stars above
When the night turns to day
[Chorus]
I love the sunshine
I love the butterflies
I love the wind blow
I love the river flow
I love the city lights
When the moon is high
[Chorus]
I love the daisies
I love the sugar peas
I love the meadows
I love the summer breeze
I love to walk on by with my head in the sky
[Chorus]

Eloise Golden – “I Love the Mountains – Sheet music is displayed while the short traditional version is portrayed and nicely sung, and then Eloise  teaches you how to sing it as a round:  “Everyone sings the song all the way through. After the boom – de – a da’s one group continues to sing Boom De A Da and the other group sings the main melody. After they finish Boom De A Da again, both groups switch parts.”
