lyrics

You may not get to see it unless you’re heading west
The old house on the highway at Black Brook is the best
Tucked off to the side still there in full view
A woodpile, gravel drive and rolling hills of blue

Was it built a hundred years ago, was the highway even there
With cars and trucks passing by and passengers who steer
A carload of us saw it on our way out here today
We all agreed if we could we’d pack it in and stay

The old house at Black Brook is not something you see
When you’re heading in the highway from the west coast to the east
On your way to Clarenville, there on your left side
There’s an old house tucked in a hill where beauty likes to hide

Curtis pointed out the view just across the way
Cliffs, trees, ocean on a million dollar day
An old salt box they call it like the ones everywhere
A kitchen, a parlour and bedrooms up the stairs

The old house at Black Brook is not something you see
When you’re heading in the highway from the west coast to the east
On your way to Clarenville, there on your left side
There’s an old house tucked in a hill where beauty likes to hide
