Fairmount Hill |
| Last night as I lay dreaming of pleasant days gone by My mind was spent on rambling to Boston I did fly |
| I stepped on board a vision and I followed with the wind |
| When next I came to anchor at the rocks on Fairmount Hill |
| It was on the 23rd of June the day before the fair |
| When Boston sons and daughters and friends assemble there |
| The young, the old, the brave, and the bold |
| Came there till they took their fill |
| At the parish church of Thatcher, a mile from Fairmount Hill |
| I went to see old friends there, to see what they might say |
| The old ones were all dead and gone, the young ones turning gray |
| I met the broken hills, hazes on as ever still |
| See I used to crash at his mother’s house, when I hung on Fairmount Hill |
| I paid a fly and visit to my first and only love |
| She’s as white as any lily, and as gentle as a dove |
| She threw her arm around me saying Andy I love ya still |
| Oh, she’s one Miss Fayes O’Bailey, the pride of Fairmount Hill |
| I dreamt I fought a violent war for the hand of this darling gal |
| Against an angry jealous fool by the name of Danny Gill |
| The clock it rang in the morning, it rang both loud and shrill |
| When I awoke in California, many miles from Fairmount Hill |
