Coming From The Mountains

(album: Close-Up - 1961)

Coming from the mountains, across the Northern plains
It's off to California, then back again to Maine
Singing a song that you all know, then let your voices go
So sing it out, my brothers, wherever we may go

We traveled here, we traveled there, we traveled ev'rywhere
We go by air, we go by rail, any place they pay us scale
Now, repeat the chorus, here we go

Coming from the mountains, across the Northern plains
It's off to California, then back again to Maine
Singing a song that you all know, then let your voices go
So sing it out, my brothers, wherever we may go

The folk group has a banjo because it's really in
I'll let you hear my banjo ring when I learn to play the thing
Now, repeat the chorus, here we go

Coming from the mountains, across the Northern plains
It's off to California, then back again to Maine
Singing a song that you all know, then let your voices go
So sing it out, my brothers, wherever we may go

The boys with Davy Crockett who died at the Alamo, I heard them say when they
Attacked, "I knew this room would kill the act!"
Now, repeat the chorus, here we go

Coming from the mountains, across the Northern plains
It's off to California, then back again to Maine
Singing a song that you all know, then let your voices go
So sing it out, my brothers, wherever we may go

Coming from the mountains, across the Northern plains
It's off to California, then back again to Maine
Singing a song that you all know, then let your voices go
So sing it out, my brothers, wherever we may go
