We got wed there one cold rainy June

Your bouquet flew in the air like a hawk

Derelict now, mossy gravestones its guards

We've got old, and worse, rarely talk

 

The chapel on the hill, the chapel on the hill

Ghostly with echoes of lost joys and sorrow

The chapel on the hill, the chapel on the hill

They're pulling it down tomorrow

 

Three boys we raised, they're all abroad

We never had the girl we hoped for

Forty years we've had of ups and downs

I wonder if there will be many more

 

The chapel on the hill, the chapel on the hill

Ghostly with echoes of lost joys and sorrow

The chapel on the hill, the chapel on the hill

They're pulling it down tomorrow

 

Now we'll have to find somewhere else to be buried

Yet at our age why should we be worried?

 

The chapel on the hill, the chapel on the hill

Ghostly with echoes of lost joys and sorrows

The chapel on the hill, the chapel on the hill

They're pulling it down tomorrow
