  Tilly's Walk In the old days, the bond that existed between a farmer and his horse was intimate and strong. This song was inspired by a story Sister Doyle of the Notre Dame Convent in Charlottetown shared with me about a little horse she remembered on their farm. "I'd know Tilley's walk anywhere," she told me. Lyrics Tilley was a chestnut mare My father's companion He picked her up at a local sale When I was a girl of seven And how she loved to race across the meadow With her tail so high up in the air There are some things I just can't remember But I'd know Tilley's walk anywhere I'd know Tilley's walk anywhere In the middle of the wintertime When the harbour was frozen She's take us into town She knew where the ice was open With her brown coat thrown against the sky Between tyhe little spruce trees she would fly In weather both stormy and fair I'd know Tilley's walk anywhere I'd know Tilley's walk anywhere And how she loved to race across the meadow With her tail so high up in the air It's true I might forget somebody I just met But I'd know Tilley's walk anywhere I'd know Tilley's walk anywhere The singing of the robin Is sweetest in the morning And I can hear that rooster call Just before the dawning The June bugs dance around the light And the lambs in the barn say goodnight So much of my childhood fills the air But I'd know Tilley's walk anywhere I'd know Tilley's walk anywhere Repeat Bridge Two Repeat First Verse End |
