OH, WHAT A BEAUTIFUL MORNIN’ (OKLAHOMA!, 1955)

Oklahoma! is just one of the numerous Rodgers and Hammerstein's movie-musical production. The story centers around a two cowboys (Gordon McRae and Rod Steiger) who vie for the affection of young women. One of them is a prairie lady named Laurey (Shirley Jones). The late McRae as the good natured Curly sang the iconic and cheery Oh, What A Beautiful Mornin'.


OH, WHAT A BEAUTIFUL MORNIN’
sung by: Gordon MacRae


There’s a bright golden haze on the meadow

There’s a bright golden haze on the meadow

The corn is as high as an elephant’s eye

And it looks like it’s climbin’ clear up to the sky


Oh, what a beautiful morning

Oh, what a beautiful day

I’ve got a beautiful feeling

Everything’s going my way




All the sounds of the earth are like music

All the sounds of the earth are like music

The breeze is so busy it don’t miss a tree

And an ol’ Weepin’ Willer is laughin’ at me


Oh, what a beautiful morning

Oh, what a beautiful day

I’ve got a beautiful feeling

Everything’s going my way
Oohh, what a beautiful day
