(Marty Robbins)
|
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 never done
|
It's been one hill after another
|
I've climbed them all one by one
|
|
But this time, Lord you gave me a mountain
|
A mountain you know I may never climb
|
It isn't just a hill any longer
|
You gave me a mountain this time
|
|
My woman got tired of heartaches
|
Tired of the grief and the strife
|
So tired of working for nothing
|
Just 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
|
|
But this time, Lord you gave me a mountain
|
A mountain you know I may never climb
|
It isn't just a hill any longer
|
You gave me a mountain this time
|
