The Folks Who Live on the Hill

Many men with loved in

try Florida to go

Others’ places small against being simpleless souls

I am the little brand

All I want to do

is to find a plat of land

and live there with you

Someday we'll build a home on a hilltop high

You and I

Shiny and new cottage that two can fill

And we'll be pleased to be called

"The folks who live on the hill

Yes, someday we may be adding a thing or two

Wing or two

We will make changes as any family will

But we will always be called

"The folks who live on the hill

Our veranda will command a view of meadows green

The kind of view that seems to want to be seen

And when the kids grow up and leave us

We'll sit and look at that same old view

Just we two

Darby and Joan who used to be Jack and Jill

The folks who like to be called

What they have always been called

"The folks who live on the hill
