The Folks Who Live on the Hill

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 view 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

Baby and Joe 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"
