Dogwoods blooming by an old dirt lane, And that little wooden flute starts calling my name.

[INSTRUMENTAL — 8 BARS] [Ocarina carries the melody] [Fiddle plays a gentle answering phrase] [Kalimba maintains a bright rhythmic pattern] [CHORUS — BUBBA AND DARLENE] When the dogwoods dance, And the fiddles play, Let that mountain music Carry us away. A little bit of sunshine, A little Georgia breeze, A little wooden flute Singing through the trees. Play a little, sing a little, Give that fiddle a chance! Everybody come alive When the dogwoods dance!

[INSTRUMENTAL — 8 BARS] [Kalimba begins a lively melody] [Fiddle answers with a bright country lick] [Wooden flute finishes the phrase] [VERSE 4 — DARLENE] Well, the years roll by and the seasons change, But the sweetest things don't rearrange.

[INSTRUMENTAL — 8 BARS] [Ocarina sings a beautiful high melody] [Wooden flute answers softly] [Fiddle adds delicate harmony] [CHORUS — DUET] When the dogwoods dance, And the fiddles play, Let that mountain music Carry us away.
