Thread Name: Help: New Hampshire Song
Subject: New Hampshire Song
I learned a song from Tony Saletan, that he learned in Newton, MA, ca. 1960, from a teacher who got it from an old newspaper. Any help on it's source (or additional text) would be appreciated. Here it is:

New Hampshire Song (Purple Lilacs)

I want to wake up in the morning
Where the purple lilacs grow
Where the sun comes a-peepin' into where I'm a sleepin'
And the song birds sing, "Hello" (Hello)
I want to wander through the wild wood
Where the fragrant breezes blow
And drift back to New Hampshire
Where the purple lilacs grow

Thanks,
JFW
