levon helm - the mountain lyrics
i was born on this mountain a long time ago
before they knocked down the timber and strip-mined the coal
when you rose in the mornin’ before it was light
to go down in that dark hole and come back up at night
i was born on this mountain, this mountain’s my home
she holds me and keeps me from worry and woe
well, they took everything that she gave – now they’re gone
but i’ll die on this mountain, this mountain’s my home
i was young on this mountain but now i am old
and i knew every holler, every cool swimmin’ hole
‘til one night i lay down and woke up to find
that my childhood was over and i went down in the mine
i was born on this mountain, this mountain’s my home
she holds me and keeps me from worry and woe
well, they took everything that she gave – now they’re gone
but i’ll die on this mountain, this mountain’s my home
there’s a hole in this mountain and it’s dark and it’s deep
and god only knows all the secrets it keeps
there’s a chill in the air only miners can feel
and there’s ghosts in the tunnels that the company sealed
i was born on this mountain, this mountain’s my home
she holds me and keeps me from worry and woe
well, they took everything that she gave – now they’re gone
but i’ll die on this mountain, this mountain’s my home
