Heartbreak Mountain

(álbum: It Takes People Like You To Make People Like Me - 1968)

Well, I'm going up on Heartbreak Mountain
Yeah, I'm going up on Heartbreak Hill
I'm going up on Heartbreak Mountain
'Cause I've lost my will to live.

It was six o'clock yesterday morning
When my sweet baby packed up to leave
It was six o'clock yesterday morning
And I ain't done nothing but grieve.

Well, I'm going up on Heartbreak Mountain
Yeah, I'm going up on Heartbreak Hill
I'm going up on Heartbreak Mountain
'Cause I've lost my will to live.

[Instrumental]

Well, I cried and I begged and I pleaded
For my sweet baby not to go
Like the leaf that's caught in a whirl wind
Where she's gone now I'll never know.

Well, I'm going up on Heartbreak Mountain
Yeah, I'm going up on Heartbreak Hill
I'm going up on Heartbreak Mountain
'Cause I've lost my will to live.

[Instrumental]

Now why does a man let a woman
Turn him into a hollow shelf
And walk up and leave him behind her
Like a ship at sea with no sail.

Well, I'm going up on Heartbreak Mountain
Yeah, I'm going up on Heartbreak Hill
I'm going up on Heartbreak Mountain
'Cause I've lost my will to live...
