Paroles de The Mountain Song

I came here from the cityA thousand miles awayI came just for a little whileYou know I never meant to stayI meant to take my pleasureHave a good time and be goneBut I fell in love with a ladyNow I sing a mountain songI listened to the musicOf the night wind in the pinesI've seenthe quiet splendorOf a field of columbineI skied on crystal pathwaysTo a mountain peak so tallAnd I walked the mighty summitsWith the one who made it all And I fell in love with a lady 'Cause I've seen her at her best And I've walked her wild and rugged paths Through her open wilderness And now I never can betray her Steal her riches and be gone 'Cause when you fall in love with a lady You gotta sing a mountain songNow people come from everywhereTo see what they can findAnd some take lots of picturesAnd some just take their timeBut they're some who take her beautyThat can't be bought or soldAnd they think of only moneyWhile destroying wealth untold But you fall in love with a lady When you've slept upon her breast And when you've walked her wild and rugged paths To her open wilderness And you never can betray her Steal her riches and be gone 'Cause when you fall in love with a lady You gotta sing a mountain song
