Brendan McGlynn - Higher Hill lyrics

[Verse 1] I took the road past the courthouse As the sun rose on my chest I'm gonna take that thing somewhere In the morning as you asked [Chorus 1] So will someone tell my mother that I drowned in that well? Tell my father to take care of her, and to always treat her well I'm leaving for that higher hill [Verse 2] I met a girl in New York city She said to call her Anne-Marie When out one day she saw me walking Asked if she'd spend some time with me [Chorus 2] So will someone please tell her that I drowned in that well? Well, there never was another and although she knew me well I'm leaving for that higher hill [Verse 3] No, my feet never get tired walking all these foreign roads I climbed that mountain, swam that ocean, [?] Every day just a new town, every night under the stars I see the faces of the people, but I don't care who they are [Chorus 3] Just leaving for that higher hill
