she came up the hill and she waited till

there's no one else around

he just left the mill when he took his girl

right there on the ground

she sat down alone 'stead of going home

looking at the view

new lad broke a bone

couldn't get him home

didn't know what to do

all alone, looking at the view

couldn't get home, didn't know what to do

she came up, and she waited till

up the hill, there was no one round

took a spill, right there on the ground

new lad broke, couldn't get him home

he went up the hill

the air was so still

a hot and sultry day

couldn't shift his mule, feel such a fool

walking by the way

she was sitting there with her feet all bare

on the other side

he was so fair

oh how we started

such a pretty sight

it was love and his heart just stood still

it was love but they're on the top of a hill

it was love but they didn't realize

it was love and it took them both by surprise

the church clock chimed one

she began to run

down the street so fast

couldn't let her go

was a little slow

caught her up at last

tears were in her eyes,

to his great surprise

she began to cry

but he was so fair

oh how we started

he felt that he could die

he was so fair, with her feet all bare

she did cry, he felt that he could die

up the hill, the air was so still there

all alone, looking at the view

up the hill, there was no one round

heart stood still, and they stayed until two

they went down the hill, holding hands untill

she came to her home

looking in her eyes, then he realized

his love was far from gone

hot and sultry day, went on his way

happy as can be

lucky was his life, for he took a wife

that's his destiny

it was love and his heart stood still

it was love but they're on the top of a hill

it was love on the top of the hill

it was love for the man who came from the mill

it was love but they didn't realize

it was love and it took them both by surprise

it was love and his heart stood still
