lyrics

Way up on Mt.Hope that's where I rest under the willow trees and under tall grass I wait for my love I'll wait here her whole life through
Way down in the valley that's where she stays picking wildflowers to place on my grave for she once was my mortal love

Oh well I see her from way up on my hill
an earthbound angel I see her smile still
her heart is lonesome and is it how
the love she lost lies six ft in the ground

They laid me to rest one summers day way up on my hill forever to lay
beneath the sun these daisies bloom
And my love she comes so sweet and fair and visits this body way up there
tells me her words such soft-spoken airs

Oh well I see her from way up on my hill
an earthbound angel I see her smile still
her heart is lonesome and is it how
the love she lost lies six ft in the ground
