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)
