She was born in a farmhouse in southern Quebec
With five brothers before her and not much respect 
She worked hard like her mother, and no one could tell
That she lived the secret life of Dorothy Bell

All the boys in her hometown, they went off to war
And Amelia Fitzgerald, she moved right next door
And every time Dorothy saw her, her heart rose, then fell
Cuz she lived the secret life of Dorothy Bell

Oh, from her garden at night
Oh, she could see Amelia's light
Oh, and Dorothy would watch from her room
When in the morning, Amelia would find a new bloom

When the Great War was over, Amelia did wed
And her bridesmaid was Dorothy, her eyes rimmed with red
And those who thought, like Amelia, that they knew her well
They never knew the secret life of Dorothy Bell

She became Auntie Dorothy, and taught school each year
She kept house for the elderly, a trained volunteer
Still her heart hid a passion that time could not quell
And she lived the secret life of Dorothy Bell

Oh, from her garden at night
Oh, she could see Amelia's light
Oh, and Dorothy would watch from her room
When in the morning, Amelia would find a new bloom

She was born in a farmhouse, and buried in town
Near her best friend, Amelia; and last year I found
Unsent letters she'd written, with so much to tell
Of how she lived the secret life of Dorothy Bell
Dorothy Bell, Dorothy Bell
Oh, she lived the secret life of Dorothy Bell
