Lyrics

Folks Who Live on the Hill

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Someday we'll build a home on a hilltop high,

You and I,

Shiny and new a cottage that two can fill.

And we'll be pleased to be called,

"The folks who live on the hill".

Someday we may be adding a thing or two,

A wing or two.

We will make changes as any fam'ly will,

But we will always be called,

"The folks who live on the hill".

Our veranda will command a view of meadows green,

The sort of veiw that seems to want to be seen.

And when the kids grow up and leave us,

We'll sit and look at the same old view,

Just we two.

Darby and Joan who used to be Jack and Jill,

The folks like to be called,

What they have always been called,

"The folks who live on the hill".
