Melanie is a feminine given name derived from the Greek μελανία (melania), "blackness" and that from μέλας (melas), meaning "dark". Borne in its Latin form by two saints: Melania the Elder and her grand-daughter Melania the Younger, the name was introduced to England by the Normans in its French form Melanie. However the name only became common in English usage in the 1930s due to the popularity of Margaret Mitchell's 1936 novel Gone with the Wind and its 1939 filmation, as one of the novel's main characters was named Melanie Hamilton.

Someday I'll be a farmer, working the land 
I wish I was a farmer, to work with my hands 
'Cause it's been too long a ride, too high the fare 
Well, I built an-climbed a mountain 
But it wasn't there 
And I been lookin' all around looked everywhere 
Well, I built and climbed a mountain 
But it wasn't there 
It isn't there, dumb ta dumb 
It isn't here, it isn't there, nor anywhere 

I'm gonna pick an apple right from the tree 
I'm gonna eat the apple 'cause it grew there for me 
And it's been to long a ride, too high the fare 
Well, I built an-climbed a mountain 
But it wasn't there 
And I been lookin' all around, looked everywhere 
To build and climb a mountain if it isn't there 
It isn't there, dumb ta dumb 
It isn't here, it isn't there, nor anywhere 

I wish I was a farmer, working the land 
Some day I'll be a farmer to work with my hands 
'Cause, it's been too long a ride, too high the fare 
You know I built and climbed a mountain 
But it wasn't there 
And I been lookin' all around, looked everywhere 
Well, I built an-climbed a mountain, but it wasn't there 
And I been lookin' all around, looked everywhere 
To build and climb a mountain if it isn't there 
It isn't there, dumb ta dumb 
It isn't here, it isn't there, nor anywhere 

I wish I was a farmer, working the land 
Some day I'll be a farmer to work with my hands 
Hah da da ti da ti dumb dumb ti dumb da da da dumb
