Sweet mountain river, |
|
come take me away, |
|
way out west of the prairies, |
|
is where I'm gonna stay. |
|
Sweet mountain river, |
|
I'm gonna make you my home, |
|
cause you fill me with that sweet sweet joy, |
|
and I never want to leave you alone. |
|
I haven't felt home in this city for so long. |
|
Sweet mountain woman, |
|
gonna take you with me, |
|
I'm gonna give you everything you want, |
|
and you're never gonna want to leave, no. |
|
Sweet mountain woman, |
|
I'm gonna show you my way, |
|
I'm gonna see you at the break of dawn, |
|
and I'm gonna see you when the light goes away. |
