HARDWICK 1961
Take Me Back To Hardwick I’m Too Young To Marry
Take Me Back To Hardwick I’m Too Old To Tarry
Walking aross the swinging bridge your girlfriend on your arm
Make it swing she’ll hold you tight It didn’t do much harm
Tulips at the festival tulips in the park
two lips at the Idle Hour kissing in the dark
Crazy Chase and Tony Washburn fiddling at the dance
I’d be fiddling with Hardwick girls if I had half the chance
Queen of the Mountain drives her mule Fridays into town
Buys her groceries has a drink and then she’s homeward bound
Mer-lu’s Restaurant on Main Street the finest food by far
Mercedes in the Kitchen and the phone booth by the bar
Barr’s Better Beverages bottled right in town
Chill the bottle pop the top and drink that sody down
Frenchmen at the Hardwick Inn Partying in the Bar
The laughter and the fiddle tunes would echo near and far
Rich folks up at Caspian Lake livin’ it up in style
poor folks down on Mackville Road look at them and smile
Take Me Back To Hardwick I’m Too Young To Marry
Take Me Back To Hardwick I’m Too Old To Tarry
From the song “Hardwick 1961” by Rick Norcross. Performed by Rick and the All Star Ramblers on the album “Welcome To Our Vermont” (2017)
