         Am                G                         Am
Last night as I lay dreaming, of pleasant days gone by

My mind was bent on rambling, and to Boston I did fly

Till at last, I came to anchor at the rocks on Fairmount Hill

It was on the 23rd of June, one day before the fair

When Boston’s sons and daughters and friends assembled there

The young, the old, the brave and the bold, came their duty to fulfill

 Am                               G                      Am
At the parish church on Thatcher, a mile from Fairmount Hill

   Am                           G                      Am
I went to see old friends there, to see what they might say

        Am                          C                       G
The old ones were all dead and gone, the young ones turning gray

I met the broker Hughes, he's as odd as ever still

[Verse]
   Am                G                      Am
I paid a flying visit to my first and only love

 Am                        C                   G
She's as white as any lily, and as gentle as a dove

Am                                 C                  G
She threw her arm around me saying, "Andy I love you still"

  Am                              G                         Am
Oh, she's one miss Fayes O’Bailey, the pride of Fairmount Hill

    Am                        C                     G
A-gainst an angry jealous foe by the name of Danny Gill
[Outro]
   Am                             C                     G
The clock it rang in the morning, it rang both loud and shrill

 Am                         G                           Am
When I awoke in Cali-fornia, many miles from Fairmount Hill
