The Hill Behind Margaret's House - copyright 2005 by Carolyn Anele

This song is symbolic of the women in my family. They're a strong and
determined lot on both sides and I'm proud to know them all…

THE HILL BEHIND MARGARET'S HOUSE
(Carloyn Anele)

V.1 From the road I see Margaret she's on her way down
       With a stick in one hand and the wind in her blouse
       You wouldn't know she is eighty and each day some how
       Climbs the hill behind Margaret's house

CH: What does she see, what does she know
       High on the hill in the sunshine or cold
       With no…time to grow old…
       On the hill behind Margaret's house

V.2 She worked hard in her day behind horse and plough
       Still grows a garden and walks into town
       When she sits down for tea she remembers their vows
       They made on the hill behind Margaret's house

CH: What does she see, what does she know
       High on the hill in the sunshine or cold
       With no…time to grow old…
       On the hill behind Margaret's house

Instrumental Bridge

V.3 So I climb up that hill wonderin' what I might find
       Searching for answers to the meaning of life
       And there is old Margaret she sees me and smiles
       And says, "tonight we'll be dancing to the northern lights"

CH: Well she sees the world just as it is
       And she knows that happiness comes from within
       With no… plans to grow old…
       Yes she sees the world just as it is
       And she knows that happiness comes from within
       With no… plans to grow old…
       On the hill behind Margaret's house
       On the hill behind Margaret's house

       From the road I see Margaret she's on her way down
       With a stick in one hand and the wind in her blouse
