[Verse 1]
Up on Sugar Hill we'd go walking
Hand in hand while the south wind blow
Bob whites calling, black crows cawing
Counting the warts on a toad in the road
Down in the mill pond swimming naked
Showing more than we should have showed
We were just kids exploring nature
Learning more than we should have know-ed

[Chorus 1]
Sug, Sug, Sug, Sugar Hill memories
Stealing sugar on the mountainside
Sug, Sug, Sug, Sugar Hill sugar
Sweeter than candy and cake and pie

[Verse 2]
A yellow dress draping off of my shoulder
Seeing myself in the looking glass
Older now and a little bit bolder
Thinking about our summers past
Up on Sugar Hill we'd go walking
Hand in hand up the mountainside
Teenage lovers planning and talking
Dreaming of a future for you and I

[Chorus 2]
Sug, Sug, Sug, Sugar Hill memories
Stealing sugar on the mountain top
Sug, Sug, Sug, Sugar Hill sugar
Sweeter than ice cream and soda pop

[Verse 3]
Years have past, we're married with children
Our days are happy and our memories fond
We still find it quite appealing
To go to Sugar Hill and swim naked in the pond

[Chorus 2]

[Verse 4]
Up on Sugar Hill there's a wealth of treasure
Down it's memory lane I go walking still
What it means to me is more than I can measure
Golden moments up on Sugar Hill

Up on Sugar Hill with the fireflies glowing
Sound of katydids and the whipper will
Honeysuckle blooming and a mountain stream flowing
A little spot of heaven up on Sugar Hill

Up On Sugar Hill with the bobwhite's calling
Black crows cawing, and the soft wind blows
Up on Sugar Hill there are love birds talking
Up on Sugar Hill where the good times roll

[Chorus 1]

[Outro]
A little spot of heaven up on Sugar Hill

Dolly Rebecca Parton (born January 19, 1946) is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, actress, author, and philanthropist, best known for her work in country music

Beginning her career as a child performer, Parton issued a few modestly successful singles from 1959 through the mid-1960s, showcasing her distinctive soprano voice. She came to greater prominence in 1967 as a featured performer on singer Porter Wagoner’s weekly television program; their first duet single, a cover of Tom Paxton’s “The Last Thing on My Mind”, was a top-ten hit on the country singles charts, and led to several successful albums before they ended their partnership in 1974. Moving towards mainstream pop music, Parton’s 1977 single “Here You Come Again” was a success on both the country and pop charts. A string of pop-country hits followed into the mid-1980s, the most successful being her 1981 hit 9 to 5" (from the film of the same name), and her 1983 duet with Kenny Rogers “Islands in the Stream”, both of which topped the U.S. pop and country singles charts. A pair of albums recorded with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris were among her later successes. In the late 1990s, Parton returned to classic country/bluegrass with a series of acclaimed recordings
