Ballad Of Lovers Hill

To Lovers Hill
I love you now and I always will
I'll wait for you my love until you come to me (come to me) on Lover's Hill
A hundred years ago two lovers met in vain
She was a southern girl and he was a boy in grey
They day that they were married
They heard the cannon's roar
She kissed her soldier boy good bye and off he went to war
Come back my love (come back my love)
To Lovers Hill (to Lovers Hill)
I love you now (love you now) and I always will (and I always will)
I'll wait for you my love until you come to me on Lover's Hill
He fought with Stonewall Jackson at the battle of Chester Hill
And when the war was over came back to Lovers Hill
The story of their love will live eternally
It's written on their tombstones for every one to see
Come back my love (come back my love)
To Lovers Hill (to Lovers Hill)
I love you now and I always will
I'll wait for you (I'll wait for you) my love until
(for you until) you come to me on Lover's Hill
