Song | You Gave Me A Mountain |
Artist | Elvis Presley |
Album | Elvis Viva Las Vegas |
Lyrics:Marty Robbins Music:Marty Robbins | |
Born in the heat of the desert | |
My mother died giving me life | |
Deprived of the love of a father | |
Blamed for the loss of his wife | |
You know Lord I've been in a prison | |
For something that I never done | |
It's been one hill after another | |
I've climbed them all one by one | |
But this time, Lord you gave me a mountain | |
A mountain you know I may never climb | |
It isn't just a hill any longer | |
You gave me a mountain this time | |
My woman got tired of heartaches | |
Tired of the grief and the strife | |
So tired of working for nothing | |
Just tired of being my wife | |
She took my one ray of sunshine | |
She took my pride and my joy | |
She took my reason for living | |
She took my small baby boy | |
But this time, Lord you gave me a mountain | |
A mountain you know I may never climb | |
It isn't just a hill any longer | |
You gave me a mountain this time |

My mother died giving me life | |
Deprived of the love of a father | |
Blamed for the loss of his wife | |
You know Lord I' ve been in a prison | |
For something that I never done | |
It' s been one hill after another | |
I' ve climbed them all one by one | |
But this time, Lord you gave me a mountain | |
A mountain you know I may never climb | |
It isn' t just a hill any longer | |
You gave me a mountain this time | |
My woman got tired of heartaches | |
Tired of the grief and the strife | |
So tired of working for nothing | |
Just tired of being my wife | |

But this time, Lord you gave me a mountain | |
