Fire on the Mountain |
| Took my fam’ly away from my Carolina home |
| Had dreams about the West and started to roam |
| Six long months on a dust covered trail |
| They say heaven’s at the end but so far it’s been hell |
| And there’s fire on the mountain, lightnin' in the air |
| Gold in them hills and it’s waitin' for me there |
| We were diggin' and siftin' from five to five |
| Sellin' everything we found just to stay alive |
| Gold flowed free like the whiskey in the bars |
| Sinnin' was the big thing, lord and Satan was his star |
| And there’s fire on the mountain, lightnin' in the air |
| Gold in them hills and it’s waitin' for me there |
| Dance hall girls were the evenin' treat |
| Empty cartridges and blood lined the gutters of the street |
| Men were shot down for the sake of fun |
| Or just to hear the noise of their forty-four guns |
| And there’s fire on the mountain, lightnin' in the air |
| Gold in them hills and it’s waitin' for me there |
| Now my widow she weeps by my grave |
| Tears flow free for her man she couldn’t save |
| Shot down in cold blood by a gun that carried fame |
| All for a useless and no good worthless claim |
| And there’s fire on the mountain, lightnin' in the air |
| Gold in them hills and it’s waitin' for me there |
| Fire on the mountain, lightnin' in the air |
| Gold in them hills and it’s waitin' for me there |
| Waitin' for me there |
