Bm A Bm
Last night as I lay dreaming of pleasant days gone by
Bm D A
My mind was bent on rambling to Boston I did fly
Bm D A
I stepped on board a vision and I followed with the wind
Bm A Bm
When next I came to anchor at the rocks on Fairmount Hill
Bm A Bm
It was on the 23rd of June the day before the fair
Bm D A
When Boston's sons and daughters and friends assembled there
Bm D A
The young, the old, the brave, and the bold, Came their duty to fulfill
Bm A Bm
At the parish church on Thatcher, a mile from Fairmount Hill
Bm A Bm
I went to see old friends there, to see what they might say
Bm D A
The old ones were all dead and gone, the young ones turning gray
Bm D A
I met the broker Hughes, he's as odd as ever still
Bm A Bm
See I used to crash at his mother's house, when I hung on Fairmount Hill

Bm A Bm
I paid a flying visit to my first and only love
Bm D A
She's as white as any lily, and as gentle as a dove
Bm D A
She threw her arm around me saying, "Andy I love you still"
Bm A Bm
Oh, she's one miss Bazo Bailey, the pride of Fairmount Hill
Bm A Bm
I dreamt I'd fought a violent war for the hand of this darling gal
Bm D A
Against an angry jealous foe by the name of Danny Gill
Bm D A
The clock it rang in the morning, it rang both loud and shrill
Bm A Bm
When I awoke in California, many miles from Fairmount Hill
