Written for the occasion of my Great Aunt Lucille's 99th birthday. Everything in this song is true.

lyrics

Lucille from Castle Hill
(music & lyric by Eddie Biggins)

Lucille was born in February 1917
In Salem, Massachusetts by the sea
With her Mom and Dad and 10 siblings
She attended St. Anne’s church
She was raised in a good Catholic family

(Chorus)
Lucille from Castle Hill
Lucille from Castle Hill
Her life has been long
She’s still going strong
Lucille from Castle Hill

She married her Camille one day in 1941
They raised prize-winning rabbits and three kids
Theresa, Armand and Roland
All knew from an early age
That whatever she set out to do, she did

(Chorus)

She lived up on the hill for 40 years in Peabody
Spoke at the State House for senior citizens
At the Peabody Council on Aging
She was boss of the sewing room
An inspiration to family and friends

(Chorus)

Lucille would take up painting at the age of 98
Her gorgeous works of art have caused a stir
And now she’s taken up knitting
Her caps are all the rage
We would all be better off to grow old like her

(Chorus)
