Lyrics:Tracey Wickland Music:Tracey Wickland | |
I came here from the city | |
A thousand miles away | |
I came just for a little while | |
You know I never meant to stay | |
I meant to take my pleasure | |
Have a good time and be gone | |
But I feel in love with a lady | |
Now i sing a mountain song | |
I listened to the music | |
Of the night wind in the pines | |
I saw the quiet splendor | |
Of a field of columbine | |
I skied on crystal pathways | |
To a mountain peak so tall | |
And I walked the mighty summits | |
With 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 could betray her | |
Steal her riches and be gone | |
'Cause when you love a mountain lady | |
You're gonna sing a mountain song | |
Now people come from everywhere | |
To see what they can find | |
And some take lots of pictures | |
And some just take their time | |
But they're some who take her beauty | |
That can't be bought or sold | |
And think of only money | |
While destroying wealth untold | |
But you fall in love with a lady | |
When you've slept upon her breast | |
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 love a mountain lady | |
You gotta sing a mountain song |
