Verse 1 Born in Northborough's autumn chill November winds upon the hill Edward's daughter, Sophia's pride Red hair glowing like sunset's tide Verse 2 Seventeen young when love came 'round Frank Seaver's heart in Keene town Three fine sons to bless their home Where spices filled the evening's dome Chorus She's the redhead queen of Lancaster Street Where pie crust rises in summer's heat Needle and thread dance in her hands The proudest mother in all the land (The proudest mother in all the land) Verse 3 Frederick, Harry, little Howard dear Each one precious, each one near But heaven called her youngest son In nineteen hundred, spring barely begun Bridge Time flows like thread through her needle's eye Memories sweet as her apple pie Some roads are hard, some joys complete But she stands tall on Lancaster Street (She stands tall…) Verse 4 They remember her stern and handsome face Her perfect stitches, her kitchen's grace The scent of cinnamon in the air The legacy of love she shared Chorus She's the redhead queen of Lancaster Street Where pie crust rises in summer's heat Needle and thread dance in her hands The proudest mother in all the land (The proudest mother in all the land) Outro Now she rests in Evergreen Besides her Frank and Howard serene But her spirit lives in stories told Of Lancaster Street and heart of gold (Of Lancaster Street and heart of gold...)
