...here is one I think Jimmy Driftwood wrote:

White River Valley

I dream of the rippling fountains
At midnight wherever I roam
Someone on the top of the mountain
Is beckoning me to my home
The songbirds are gay in the wildwood
That grows by the rocks and the rills
In beautiful White River Valley
In the shade of the blue mountain hills

the flowers that bloom in the sunlight
Have filled me with ten thousand thrills
In beautiful White River Valley
In the shade of the blue mountain hills

The mockingbirds sing in the Ozarks
The pine trees are sighing above
There's no place on earth like the Ozarks
The wonderful land that I love
The songbirds are gay in the wildwood
That grows by the rocks and the rills
In beautiful White River Valley
In the shade of the blue mountain hills
The flowers that bloom in the sunlight
Have filled me with ten thousand thrills
In beautiful White River Valley
In the shade of the blue mountain hills

I like that! Any hope of a tune for it anywhere?
