The old master painter from the faraway hills   Painted the violets and the daffodils   He put the purple in the twilight haze   Then did a rainbow for the rainy days      Dreamed up the murals on the blue summer skies   Painted the Devil in my darling's eyes   Captured the dreamer with a thousand thrills   The old master painter from the faraway hills      Then came his masterpiece and when he was through   He smiled down from Heaven and he gave me you   What a beautiful job on that wonderful day   The old master painter from the hills far away      Then came his masterpiece and when he was through   He smiled down from Heaven and he gave me you   What a beautiful job on that wonderful day   The old master painter from the hills far away      The old master painter from the faraway hills   Painted the violets and the daffodils   He put the purple in the twilight haze   Then did a rainbow for the rainy days      Dreamed up the murals on the blue summer skies   Painted the Devil in my darling's eyes   Captured the dreamer with a thousand thrills   The old master painter from the faraway hills      Then came his masterpiece and when he was through   He smiled down from Heaven and he gave me you   What a beautiful job on that wonderful day   The old master painter from the hills far away      Far away, far away, far away
