angry johnny and the killbillies - pomeroy mountain lyrics

[verse 1]
i took her up the mountain, but i came down alone
now the judge tells me tomorrow i must die
she was the only woman i never could let go
you can ask me, but i couldn’t tell you why
heard about her and that jim butler out behind old johnson’s store
and after that, i never was the same
they found jim butler lyin’ in a puddle on the floor
a splitting’ maul was buried in his brain

[chorus]
folks said she was a bad girl
but i loved her anyway
and every sin against me, i forgave
oh, but something deep inside my soul just snapped in half that day
and now my love is lying in hеr grave

[verse 2]
the preachеr asked me “son, have you made peace with your lord?”
i said, “what the h+ll’s he ever done for me?”
he told me blasphemy won’t pay the toll that opens heaven’s door
i told him that’s ok, ‘cause h+ll lets you in free

[bridge]
way up on pomeroy mountain, the laurel is in bloom
covering them hills like fallen snow
we went there for the last time on that sunday afternoon
i gave her one last kiss, and i let her go
[chorus]
folks said she was a bad girl
but i loved her anyway
and every sin against me, i forgave
oh, but something deep inside my soul just snapped in half that day
and now my love is lying in her grave

[bridge]
tomorrow, when they’re slippin’ that noose over my head
i’ll look out, and i’ll see my momma cry
take me up to pomeroy mountain, when my body’s cold and dead
and bury me right there, beneath the sky

[outro]
oh, take up to pomeroy mountain, when my body’s cold and dead
and bury me right there, beneath the sky
