High On A Mountain lyrics Lyrics

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 song lyrics
