I believe this song was written in 1989 and recorded by Joan Buckbee. It describes the pictureqsque town of Berkeley Springs, a spa and resort town in West Virginia. It tell of how God created a special place for this scenic village, complete with a castle. If anyone has the lyrics, please post them here. Thank You.   SOL ZELLER

If it's the Berkeley Springs Schottiche there are some copies at Levy (I used a simple search on Berkeley, the 2nd result is one). Here's a link to the cover page of one of them, the link at the bottom of the page will take you to the following pages: Berkeley Springs Schottisch.

Mick,
       I do not believe that is the song. It is definitely not old enough to be in the Lester Levy collection. It was copyrighted in 1989 by a fellow named Bill Beaver. It was recorded on the same casette as 2 other Bill Beaver songs, "Green Eyed Angel" and "Old Blue". The tape was purchased at a gift shop at Cacapon State Park during a vacation about 12 years ago.

Boy, if you do find it, I'd like to know about it. Back in the olden days (when I was single) I used to spend many weekends in Berkeley Springs and the surrounding area. I had one friend who would sometimes drive up with me just for the day. We'd take a swim in the Coolfont Lake, eat in the Treetop Restaurant, maybe shop at House of Musical Traditions or visit the craft shops in town, then drive back to D.C. Can't remember if I visited the castle or not but I saw it. It's a really special place for me.

If it doesn't make mention ot the "castle" let me know and I'll write one. Any song about Berkely Springs has to have such a verse...

It definitely DOES mention the castle. In fact, I have some slides that I took of it during my visit. SOL ZELLER
