Nat “King” Cole
The Song of Raintree County
They say in Raintree County there's a tree bright with blossoms of gold
But you will find the Raintree's a state of the mind, or a dream to enfold
It was there one day, with the buds of early May
That you came like a flame from the south
And I looked into eyes of periwinkle blue and I knew, then I knew
I'd love you in Raintree County, and I'd find what we all seek to know
We shared the golden dream when we found our true love
In Raintree long ago, for the brave who dare there's a Raintree ev'rywhere
We who dreamed found it so, long ago
They say in Raintree County there's a tree bright with blossoms of gold
But you will find the Raintree's a state of the mind, or a dream to enfold
It was there one day, with the buds of early May
That you came like a flame from the south
And I looked into laughing eyes of sparkling blue and I knew, then I knew
I'd love you in Raintree County, and I'd find what we all seek to know
We shared the golden dream when we found our true love
In Raintree long ago, for the brave who dare there's a Raintree ev'rywhere
We who dreamed found it so, long ago
