MAINE GOSSIP
The Heart Of Maine

I'll visit that old town again,
In the heart of dear old Maine.
When the ice and snow are gone,
I'll be sitting on the lawn.
I'll be living there once more;
I'll stand in my cottage door,
In summer I'll be there
Therell be music in the air.
I'll be climbing the mountains;
III drink from every fountain.
o. there's pleasure in the air
III be roaming everywhere.
Meath fir trees I'll spend the nights,
Building castles in their heights,
Looking up at dangling cones,
Joy be living in my bones.
Scenes of beauty thrill my soul:
I'll fish from my favorite hole;
III bring along my favorite gun,
In the woods, Q JOY! What fun.
I'm going to that town again
I'll never leave the State of Maine,
I'll settle down there in it's heart,
And from its glory never part
