The song I'm loving today

Bless Your Beautiful Hide from Seven Brides for Seven Brothers

Okay, the truth is I'm not so much loving it as it's been stuck in my head ever since I saw the movie. I'm hoping that if I can get it stuck in your head, it will leave mine alone. So watch the video!

The link above has Italian subtitles and spoken word, but was the highest-quality clip from the movie I could find. The video below is in English, but is a montage of pics of Howard Keel, not the scene from the movie:



Bless your beautiful hide
Wherever you may be.
We ain't met yet
But I'm a willin' to bet
You're the gal for me.

Bless your beautiful hide
You're just as good as lost.
I don't know your name
But I'm a-stakin' my claim
Lest your eyes is crossed.

Oh, I'd swap my gun 'n' I'd swap my mule
Tho' whoever took it would be one big fool.
Or pay your way through cookin' school.
If 'n you would say I do.

Bless your beautiful hide
Prepare to bend your knee.
And take that vow
Cause I'm a-tellin' you now,
You're the gal for me.

Pretty and trim but kinda slim.
Heavenly eyes but oh that size,
She's gotta be right to be the bride for me.

Bless your beautiful hide
Wherever you may be.

Pretty and trim but not too slim.
Heavenly eyes of just the right size,
Simple and sweet and sassy as can be.

Bless her beautiful hide
If she's the gal for me.
