Last night I dreamed about her in my sleep;
I thought that her and me had went away
Out on some hill where birds sung‘ round all day,
And I had got a job of herdin’ sheep.
I thought that she had went along to keep
Me comp'ny, and we'd set around for hours
Just lovin’, and I'd go and gather flowers
And pile them at her feet, all in a heap.
It seemed to me like heaven, bein’ there
With only her besides the sheep and birds,
And us not sayin’ anything but words
About the way we loved. I would n't care
To ever wake again if I could still
Dream we was there forever on the hill.
