The Mountain
I was born on this mountain a long, long time ago
Before they knocked down the timber and strip-mined the coal
When you wake up in the mornin' before it was light
To go down in that dark hole and come back up at night
I was born on this mountain, this mountain's my home
She holds me and keeps me from worry and woe
Well, they took everything that she gave, now she's gone
But I'll die on this mountain, this mountain's my home
It's my home
I was young on this mountain
But now I am old
And I knew every holler, every cool swimmin' hole
'Til one night I lay down and woke up to find
That my childhood was over and I went down in the mine
Dan váren lev riegádam
Mälggat le dat rájes
Dalloj guohtom sjattaj ja boahttsu
Gieverdin viejtto
Valla dálla ednam le tjoaskes ja tjarggat
Ij majdek danna sjattá
Ij ge boatsoj gruvvarájgev
Máhte rasstit
Dat le muv viesso
There's a hole in this mountain and it's dark and it's deep
And God only knows all the secrets it keeps
There's a chill in the air only miners can feel
And there's ghosts in the tunnel that the company sealed
It's my home
Before they knocked down the timber and strip-mined the coal
When you wake up in the mornin' before it was light
To go down in that dark hole and come back up at night
I was born on this mountain, this mountain's my home
She holds me and keeps me from worry and woe
Well, they took everything that she gave, now she's gone
But I'll die on this mountain, this mountain's my home
It's my home
I was young on this mountain
But now I am old
And I knew every holler, every cool swimmin' hole
'Til one night I lay down and woke up to find
That my childhood was over and I went down in the mine
Dan váren lev riegádam
Mälggat le dat rájes
Dalloj guohtom sjattaj ja boahttsu
Gieverdin viejtto
Valla dálla ednam le tjoaskes ja tjarggat
Ij majdek danna sjattá
Ij ge boatsoj gruvvarájgev
Máhte rasstit
Dat le muv viesso
There's a hole in this mountain and it's dark and it's deep
And God only knows all the secrets it keeps
There's a chill in the air only miners can feel
And there's ghosts in the tunnel that the company sealed
It's my home
