song lyrics
High On A Mountain lyrics
High on a mountain where the sun still shines
And the water runs a little lazy
Wild-eyed and lonely, runnin out of time
Some will say I died half-crazy

One time a hustler took me for a ride
All because I tried to deceive her
She broke me down and laughed and left me weak inside
The more I lost my pride, the more it pleased her

Carry me cross the water
I ve been over there once before
Stayed with a poor man s daughter
I can t live in this country no more

Death beds and ragged threads are my last home
Someone should have known of my endin
Born bad, I killed a man for sympathy
Ain t much left of me worth defendin

Carry me cross the water
I ve been over there once before
And I stayed with a poor man s daughter
I can t live in this country no more
