|
High on a hilltop, I search the land below |
|
Looking for that love of mine left 20 long years ago |
|
Her love I took in vain, her love I did not earn |
|
Love is something that you might find, but pain is what you learn |
|
On a hilltop looking for my love below |
|
I blew my whistle loud, I blew my whistle clear, |
|
Picked up a fiddle, sawed off a tune, looking for my dear |
|
I searched this whole world over, through the country and through the town |
|
I'll keep on looking for that little girl 'til I'm in the lonesome ground |
|
On a hilltop looking for my love below. |
|
For years my heart did ramble, like a rounder without a home, |
|
Put down my ancient tired eyes, rest upon my bones |
|
But now the girl is gone, wherever she may be |
|
I hope sometime she sees the stars and maybe thinks of me |
|
Sees the stars and maybe thinks of me |
|
But now the girl is gone, wherever she may be |
|
I hope sometime she sees the stars and maybe thinks of me |
|
Sees the stars and maybe thinks of me |
