Story Behind the Song
This is the story of the House on Chestnut Ridge, a community of animals who lived happily in harmony, despite their individual quirks and foibles, idiosyncrasies and eccentricities.
And as it happened one autumn morning, Collier -- the street-wise tom cat who had been blind since he was a kitten -- gained his eyesight back through a stroke of good fortune....
...And throughout Chestnut Ridge there was much elation and celebration!
Collier can see again, Collier can see
Absotively, posolutely Collier can see.
Collier can see again, Collier can see
He was blind and now he's not
Collier can see.
Collier can see again, Collier can see
Absotively, posolutely Collier can see.
Collier can see again, Collier can see
He was blind and now he's not
Collier can see.
...And that evening, they all sat on the Friendship Bridge down by Pressler's Pond with Collier, as he watched the sun set for the first time just beyond the hills of Chestnut Ridge.
Lyrics
Chestnut Ridge
Verse 1
There's a place not very far from here
Where the weather's warm and the sky is clear
Where all your worries disappear!
On Chestnut Ridge.
There's a place not very far away
Where the sun sits high in the sky all day
Where you've always got a place to stay
On Chestnut Ridge.
Chorus
Chestnut, Chestnut Ridge
Where the whippoor wills
And the buttercup spills
The dew drops from the night.
Chestnut, Chestnut Ridge
Where the dragon flies
In the morning skies
Then kite tails out of sight.
Verse 2
I know a place where we can go
Where the river runs and the four winds blow
We hope you'll stop and say hello
On Chestnut Ridge.
Come along and there we'll be
Where the swallows dance in cypress trees
What happens next, let's wait and see
On Chestnut Ridge.
Chorus
Chestnut, Chestnut Ridge
Where the meadow larks
And the dogwood barks
Although it never bites.
Chestnut, Chestnut Ridge
Where the butterflies
In the morning skies
Then flutters out of sight.
