Take Me Back to the Berkshire Mountains
(Columbus Stockade, Berkshire Version)
Saturday, July 3, 2004
Listen

Take me back to the Berkshire Mountains
Let me go to Tanglewood
Back to the days when I was younger
Lord O Lord I wish I could

I want to sing and play the way we used to
Music underneath the trees
When we were young and it was summer
In the land of the free

I do recall the joyful pleasures
Old duets that we would play
Days that drifted in the sunshine
Nights when we were swept away

BREAK

Now I'm old, I have a schedule
Where to go and what to do
Who to see and what to tell them
How I miss my wayward youth

CHORUS

BREAK

In a few years I'll retire
Buy a cottage of my own
Sit around and play my music
In my Berkshire Mountain home.
