"My Old New Hampshire Home" is an 1898 song that was the first popular hit of composer Harry Von Tilzer, with lyrics by Andrew B.

In 1898, Von Tilzer and Sterling were sharing a rented furnished room in New York City on Fifteenth Street.

The next year, the Dunn firm was bought by Shapiro and Bernstein primarily to get the rights to the song, and they paid the duo $4,000 in royalties, and made Von Tilzer a partner.

It has been reported in a number of sources that the sheet music for the song sold over two million copies.

[9][10] Verse 1 Far away on the hills of old New Hampshire, Many years ago we parted, Ruth and I; By the stream where we wandered in the gloaming, It was there I kissed my love a sad goodbye She clung to me and trembled when I told her, And pleadingly she begged of me to stay; We parted, and I left her broken hearted, In the old New Hampshire village far away.
