Joy Song

Della Hodgson James 1891 (Dawt Ozark County, Missouri, USA) – 1979 (Mountain Home, Baxter County, Arkansas, USA)

There's joy in the fleecy clouds 
There's joy in the sky. 
There's joy in a fishing trip
Even tho the babies cry.
There's joy in the tree tops
In the birds song,  
There's joy just in living
If we don't go wrong.
