Badless The Ore Hill Lyrics

Ore Hill Lyrics

(feltenberger/badlees)

 

 Well, he died at 39

 Some kinda pill and homemade wine

 He left his english bride

 And a love he couldn't deny behind

 

 Folks have come to say

 He nearly gave the land away

 He couldn't understand

 How a man could own the land anyway

 

 (chorus)

 When grandpa had had his fill

 He'd take a walk up old ore hill

 To the land of a thousand shadows

 And things would come around

 

 From the day that he was born

 The mountain had been his home

 He'd sit late afternoon

 Watch the shadows reach the moon alone

 

 Then shewanakw-nan came

 And things began to change

 He dealt against his will

 And moved down off the hill ashamed

 

 (chorus)

 

 Well, he died at 39

 Glad to leave this world behind

 Tired of holding on

 To a place he didn't belong

 To find.....

 

 That grandpa had lost his will

 To take a walk up old ore hill

 To the land of a thousand shadows

 And things would come around

 

 (chorus)
