You Gave Me A Mountain Lyrics

Born in the heat of the desert my mother died giving me life



Deprived of the love of a father blamed for the loss of his wife



You know Lord I've been in a prison for something that I've never done



It's been one hill after another but I've climbed them all one by one



But this time Lord you gave me a mountain a mountain that I may never climb



It isn't a hill any longer you gave me a mountain this time







My woman got tired of the heartaches tired of the grief and the strife



Tired just working for nothing tired of being my wife



She took my one ray of sunshine she took my pride and my joy



She took my reason for living she took my small baby boy



And this time Lord you gave me a mountain...



Yes you gave me a mountain this time
