I’ve spent my life on this mountain, since the day my mother gave birth I’ll never leave this mountain, my life is what its worth I wake the sun in the morning, and watch it melt morning dew And put it to rest in the evening, when the day is through In spring it’s cool and refreshing, it helps to cleanse my soul A stream runs crystal clear, sun dances off the shoal The wind blows soft on the mountain, it touches here and there It soothes my worn weary body, and takes such gentle care Peace grows from the valley, a breeze kisses the night All God’ creatures rally, and know the world is right My soul is longing for heaven, I think I’m ready to go Hope heaven has a mountain, I’ll miss this one so |
