Me and the Orford Folks

 

Me And The Orford Folks

 This is a song about how when I was in grad school at Dartmouth, I made friends with people in a nearby town called Orford, NH.


The lyrics are:
I went to a school
And it's name was Dartmouth
It was pretty cool
I did lots of art stuff

But I ventured out
I went on the highway 10
and along that route
I met up with some new friends

Me and the Orford folks, me and the Orford folks
Me and the Orford folks, we hung out a lot

I went to a school
That some locals did not like
Cuz some students there
Were snotty and they were not nice

To the local town
People who lived all around
But I ventured out
And made friends I'll sing about

Me and the Orford folks, me and the Orford folks
Me and the Orford folks, we hung out a lot

New Hampshire has a town named Orford
Not far from where I did my coursework
Where not all, but some students looked down
On people who lived in nearby towns
Maybe it's just a matter of taste
But it feels like a gigantic waste
To not get to know people around
Who are living in adjoining towns
Years later, I am looking back at
Memories of the times that I had
In Orford, New Hampshire, with my friends
Who I met there, on the highway 10

Me and the Orford folks, me and the Orford folks
Me and the Orford folks, we hung out a lot

Here's the alternative player thingy just in case you want to use it:
