Mountain Cry

I met my girl on a mountain side

Looking for warmth and a place to hide

She took me in as the day grew long

As we lay by the fire our love grew strong



I left the city for its dirt and grime

The factory walls to make mountain time

I found love, but she slipped away

Now I'm alone, but here I'll stay



I keep on looking till this very day

For my girl who's gone away

I'll search this land till the day I die

A sweet loving woman, make a mountain cry
