Too Many Mountains

(앨범: Story Songs Of Mountains And Valleys - 1964)

There's too many mountains too many mountains
Too many mountains to cross
No trails to follow through dark thick hollows
And ev'rybody here figures they got lost

I live here in the Smoky Mountains
Where honor means much more than gold
It's a man's duty to protect his honor
I defended mine but no one knows

'Coz it's understood in the Smoky Mountains
To take another's woman was the worst kind of wrong
But he and my darling broke the code of the mountain
And I'm the only one who knows where they've gone

And there's too many mountains too many mountains
Too many mountains to cross
No trails to follow through dark thick hollows
And ev'rybody here figures they got lost

Yes they tried to cross over the mountain
They didn't have it in their plan
I'd follow them through ev'ry ridge and hollow
'Coz I know these mountains like the back of my hand

And there's too many mountains too many mountains
Too many mountains to cross
No trails to follow through dark thick hollows
And ev'rybody here figures they got lost

It's a man's duty to protect his honour
And ev'rybody here figures they got lost
But he and my darling broke the code of the mountain
And ev'rybody here figured they got lost
