(J. Comanor/S. Silverstein)
|
|
Sal from the valley loved Al from the alley and they lived in harmony
|
Sally played acoustic and Al, he played electric and they both took turns on lead
|
They sang it for their friends, again and again of the places they had been
|
But their favourite song of all was called up on the mountain
|
|
Up on the mountain, up where the light breaks, that's where you'll find me
|
Gonna leave this worrisome world and it's trouble behind me
|
Up on the mountain, where the light breaks, that's where I'll be
|
I've barely got time to finish this song so say farewell for me
|
|
Then into the valley came a girl from the galleys, with a strange and smilin' face
|
Al played acoustic and Sally played electric, and the gal played a hell of a bass
|
And when they sang their harmonies, the lady dipped right in
|
She soon moved in and lived with them up on the mountain
|
|
Up on the mountain, up where the light breaks, that's where you'll find me
|
Gonna leave this worrisome world and it's trouble behind me
|
Up on the mountain, where the light breaks, that's where I'll be
|
I've barely got time to finish this song so say farewell for me
|
|
Now Al from the alley is gone from the valley, a sadder but wiser man
|
And Sally from the valley and the gal from the galleys they live in mortal sin
|
Sal plays acoustic and the gal plays electric and sometimes they hold hands
|
Late at night you can hear them playing, up on the mountain
|
|
Up on the mountain, up where the light breaks, that's where you'll find me
|
Gonna leave this worrisome world and it's trouble behind me
|
Up on the mountain, where the light breaks, that's where I'll be
|
I've barely got time to finish this song so say farewell for me
|
|
Hot lickin' and finger pickin'
|
Say farewell for me
