This song is dedicated to the memory of my dear friend The prime minister of Barbados Mr. Errol Barrow Someday, we'll build a house on a hilltop high You and I Shiny and new, a cottage that two can fill And we'll be pleased to be called "The folks who live on the hill" Someday we may be adding a thing or two A wing or two We will make changes as any family will But we'll be pleased to be called "The folks who live on the hill" Our veranda will command a view of meadows green The sort of veiw that seems to want to be seen And when our kids grow up and leave us We'll sit and look at the same old view Just we two Darby and Joan who used to be Jack and Jill And we'll be pleased to be called What we've always been called "The folks who live on the hill"
