Sugar Mountain Lyrics

Sugar Mountain lyrics

Do you go down

 On the side of Sugar Mountain?

 When leaves are brown

 And the sunlight splits the sky

 I have found that

 The sea breeze tears at the ocean

 And I hope somebody 

 Will love me 'fore I die

 

    Oh willow, weep no more my lady

    Though the days are long and lazy

    And the sun sets heavy on the sky

    Weep no more, I'm homeward bound

    I'm gonna tear this mountain down

    You're gonna be somebody bye and bye

 

 Sugar Mountain trees are made of candy

 And the sun drips honey in your eyes

 Every fountain's water tastes like brandy

 And I know somebody 

 Will love me 'fore I die

 

    Oh willow, weep no more my lady

    Though the days are long and lazy

    And the sun sets heavy on the sky

    Weep no more, I'm homeward bound

    I'm gonna tear this mountain down

    You're gonna be somebody bye and bye

 

 Sugar Mountain lovers taste like honey

 And their lips like elderberry wine

 Every other stranger pales and withers

 And I hope somebody

 Will love me 'fore I die

 

    Oh willow, weep no more my lady

    Though the days are long and lazy

    And the sun sets heavy on the sky

    Weep no more, I'm homeward bound

    I'm gonna tear this mountain down

    You're gonna be somebody bye and bye
