Day after day alone on a hill
The man with the foolish grin
Is keeping perfectly still
But nobody wants to know him
They can see that he's just a fool
And he never gives an answer

But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning 'round

Well on the way, head in a cloud
The man with a thousand voices
Talking perfectly loud
But nobody ever hears him
Or the sound he appears to make
And he never seems to notice

But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning 'round

But nobody seems to like him
They can tell what he wants to do
And he never shows his feelings

But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning 'round

Oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
'Round 'n' 'round 'n' 'round 'n' 'round 'n' 'round

He never listens to them
He knows that they're the fool
And they don't like him

The fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning 'round

Bobbie Gentry

Roberta Lee Streeter (27 July 27 1944 -) used the pseudonym “Bobbie Gentry”, and was one of the first female country artists to compose and produce her own material. Her songs drew on her Mississippi roots and she composed Southern Gothic story songs.

Gentry rose to fame with her song, “Ode to Billie Joe” in 1967. The song spent four weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song earned her Grammy awards for Best New Artist and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance in 1968. Her album, Fancy brought her a Grammy nomination for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. She lost interest in performing in the late 1970s, and now lives a private life in Los Angeles.
