Thread Name: Lyr Req: Seven Hills to Home (from Johnny Lane)
Subject: Seven Hills to Home by Johnny Lane +?
I'm looking for the complete lyrics to the old country song, SEVEN HILLS TO HOME. It's not under "S" in the alpha list in Mudcat. I think it may have been recorded by Johnny Lane and the Spinners. (I found an old 78 in a cyberstore with a lyric by that title, but I don't need the platter, just the lyric since I know the tune and I'm not a '78 collector.)

It starts:

"When I was young I used to ride an old grey mare to school
Seven hills I had to ride to learn the golden rule..."

Chorus went something like:

"Seven hills to home (2X)
The days have passed away; I can no longer stay
I'm always looking forward to those seven hills to home."

You can post the lyric here perhaps or Fax (416) 954-7240.

Thanks. Bob
