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 wouldn't care / To ever wake again if I could still / Dream we was there forever on the hill.
