Blood Sweat Tears High On A Mountain Lyrics

High On A Mountain Lyrics

(Katz)







High on a mountain where the sun still shines



And the water runs a little lazy



Wild-eyed and lonely, running out of time



Some will say I died half-crazy







One time a hustler took me for a ride



All because I tried to deceive her



She broke me down and laughed and left me weak inside



The more I lost my pride, the more it pleased her







Carry me 'cross the water, 



I've been over there once before



Stayed with a poor man's daughter



I can't live in this country no more







Death beds and ragged threads are my last home



Someone should have known of my ending



Born bad, I killed a man for sympathy



Ain't much left of me worth defending







Carry me 'cross the water, 



I've been over there once before



And I stayed with a poor man's daughter



I can't live in this country no more
