Fall in Massachusetts
Fall in Massachusetts
Oh, it's fall in Massachusetts, And the fields are turning brown. There the leaves are brown and crimson And the brooks go singing down. | |
There the hay ricks come from meadows With their fragrant-smelling load, And the smoke curls up from chimneys Of the farms along the road. | |
There the elm trees make an archway Over the streets in the little towns, And the footpath. have a carpet Now that leaves are coming down. | |
And the birds are flying southward Through dreamy, hazy, dry Oh, It' s fall in Massachusetts, And I am far away! | |
