Hills of the Borough

about

If we are healthy trees then Hillsborough is our roots.

lyrics

On the old fire tower you can see far and wide
you can't get much higher within the county line
Muddy water flows shallow and slow
who knows what's buried on the banks of the old Eno
On the steps of the courthouse you can sing your song
but when the bell strikes noon you won't sing for long

In the hills of the borough stories are told
some are long others are old
How I long just to hear them again
Out in the hills of the borough

When you're dead and walking on down the road
you done too much talkin' on the banks of the old Eno
Cause now the town knows what you down
and you're dead and buried alongside the setting sun
