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 |
