Jackie Lomax A Hundred Mountains Lyrics

A Hundred Mountains Lyrics

A dozen men from Arkansas swore to bring me in
Through the office of the law
they persecute my kin
I have left a hundred mountains way
behind
An’ I do believe it’s countin’ on my
mind

I can go no further   I declare I had my fill
I can go no
further   I’m gonna wait by the whisky still

I robbed a man who
robbed the dead well before their time
Anyone with half a head can see that
ain’t no crime
I have left a hundred mountains in my
past
An’ I do believe my time is comin’ fast

I can go
no further   I declare I had my fill
I can go no further   I’m gonna
wait by the whisky still

(He can go no further)   I swear I had my
fill
(He can go no further)   I’m gonna wait by the whisky
still

They shot my leg to pieces, ya know I near enough bled to
death
If not for the horse between us I’d still be lyin’ there
yet
I have mastered many mountains at my best
An’ I do believe
it’s time for me to rest

I can go no further   I declare I had my
fill
I can go no further   I’m gonna wait by the whisky
still

(He can go no further)   I swear I’ve had my fill
(He
can go no further)   I’m gonna wait here for the kill
