Folks Who Live On The Hill

Nina Simone · Other Songs - Nina Simone

Someday we'll build a house 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



And we will be pleased to 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 our 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



And we'll be pleased to be called



What we have always been called



The folks who live on the hill
