BILLY JOE ROYAL- "CHERRY HILL PARK" (W / LYRICS-ORIGINAL HIT)

[MsThebeMoon]

@rwells47 : Oooooooooooooh ... I never really caught that before. I read your question and read the lyrics and the light bulb went on. No, I don't believe Cherry Hill was quite a geographic location.

I cannot possibly imagine what the fuck happened to this poor girl in cherry hill park. this song is extremely disturbing and I don't like it one bit.

1969 survived Viet Nam, USMC. Bought a brand new Z-28 1969 Camaro. I was sooo damn happy to have made it home. And, this tune at the time added to my joy! I'll never forget it! S/F

This one is in honour of my friend, Susan who just happens to have lived in Cherry Hill, NJ since 1964.

@flutey28 I knew a Mary Hill in grade school you wouldn't happen to be her would you?

[flutey28]

@hidoll22 Ha, no, I married a Hill. Hill was only my name from 01 to 2011

This IS the original, right? Thanks so much for posting it...I like both versions, but this is the one that brings back the good times :)

Thanks so much for the info. I wondered if the song was about Cherry Hill, NJ. Now I know. :) I went there once or twice in the 60's. My mom had a friend who lived there and we went to see her. I remember roller skating up there. They had this big red and white checked water tank up there. Been many many yrs since I went up there tho.

@cherylharrell1961- Hi Cheryl, thanks for stopping by! Take care, Ron
