Hushaby Mountain

[Howard]

Ok , a bit O.T. but does anyone know who sang 'Hushaby Mountain' that is on telly at the moment on a make up ad ?

It was from the film - Chitty Chitty Bang Bang - not sure who sang it tho

Full lyrics:

A gentle breeze from hushabye mountain
Softly blows o'er lullaby bay
It fills the sails of boats that are waiting
Waiting to sail your worries away


It isn't far to hushabye mountain
And your boat waits down by the key
The winds of night so softly are sighing
Soon they will fly your troubles to sea


So close your eyes on hushabye mountain
Wave goodbye to cares of the day
And watch your boat from Hushabye Mountain
Sail far away from lullaby bay

In the film it was sung by the Dad - Charactacus Potts played by **** van Dyke - it all comes back now. Love Chitty Chitty Bang Bang - great film

But according to Google - Bobby Gentry has also sung it. It's one of those that's been around

According to Jeeves is **** Van Dyke

Just checked my David Gilmour Live at Robert Wyatt's Meltdown DVD and there is a version on there !!
