Oh, New Hampshire (you're my home)

by Brownie McIntosh

New Hampshire designated Oh, New Hampshire (you're my home), words and music by Brownie McIntosh, as an official honorary state song in 1977.

Lyrics

Oh New Hampshire you're my home
where a lonely seagull flies
like a love I've never known
brings a teardrop to my eyes

walkin' barefoot in your sands
or a clear blue mountain stream
leaves my troubles far away
or at least that's how it seems

There's a place that I can be
where there's no-one else but me
feel the salty ocean spray
watch the small sand-pipers play

Oh New Hampshire you're my home
where a lonely seagull flies
like a love I've never known
brings a teardrop to my eyes

Wandrin' thru this land of mine
always know a friend is near
when a tall new Hampshire pine
whispers the song I need to hear

make me know we'll always be
side by side just you & me
never ever more to roam
from my old New Hampshire home

Oh New Hampshire you're my home
where a lonely seagull flies
like a love I've never known
brings a teardrop to my eyes
Oh New Hampshire you're my home
