Settled in the Mountains

To the Emerald Isle she bid adieu
A widow along with children, too
In 18-hundred and 42, and she
Settled in the mountains, settled in the mountains
Catherine Donnelly raised children five
On Irishtown praties they survived
And two of her grandsons they did thrive, and they
Settled in the mountains, settled in the mountains
For town supervisor John Donnelly did run
His brother Tom finished the job he'd begun
He wed Lucy Clifford and they had one son, and he
Settled in the mountains, settled in the mountains
When Francis was 14 his father died
Be a farmer or carpenter, he couldn't decide
But he asked Nora Phelps to be his bride, and they
Settled in the mountains, settled in the mountains
Assessor, constable, team organizer
For 46 years, the town supervisor
And as Francis grew older he grew wiser, glad he
Settled in the mountains, settled in the mountains
Whether bringing town water or building a beach
Or lending a hand beyond his reach
His life is a lesson that still can teach, why he
Settled in the mountains, settled in the mountains
Catherine Donnelly settled here in '42
Like so many others, traded old for the new
And while our histories may differ, what we share is true: we
Settled in the mountains, settled in the mountains
