The Carter Family
School House on the Hill
[Verse 1]
Fond memory paints its scenes of other years
Bring me their memory still
And bright amid those joyous scenes of years
The schoolhouse on the hill

[Chorus]
Oh, the schoolhouse that stands upon the hill
I never, never can forget
Dear happy days are gathered 'round me still
I never, no never can forget

[Verse 2]
There hangs the swing upon the maple tree
Where you and I once swung
There flows the spring, forever flowing free
As when we both were young

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
There climbs the vines and there the berries grow
Which once would rise so high
And there the ripe nuts glistened in the grove
Of rich October skies
[Chorus]
