Traditional, Copland: Old American Songs Set 1 - 4. Simple Gifts

'Tis the gift to be simple

'Tis the gift to be free

'Tis the gift to come down

Where you ought to be

And when we find ourselves

In the place just right

'Twill be in the valley

Of love and delight

When true simplicity is gained

To bow and to bend

We shan't be ashamed to turn

Turn will be our delight

Till by turning, turning

We come round right

'Tis the gift to be simple

'Tis the gift to be free

'Tis the gift to come down

Where you ought to be

And when we find ourselves

In the place just right

'Twill be in the valley

Of love and delight
