John Denver lyrics
 
 
   The Mountain Song lyrics    This song appears on two albums, and was first released on the Autograph album, and has also been released on The Country Roads Collection album. 
  
I came here from the city 
A thousand miles away 
I came just for a little while 
You know I never meant to stay 
I meant to take my pleasure 
Have a good time and be gone 
But I fell in love with a lady 
Now I sing a mountain song 
  
I listened to the music 
Of the night wind in the pines 
I saw the quiet slendour 
Of a field of columbine 
I skied on crystal pathways 
To a mountain peak so tall 
And I walked the mighty summits 
With the one who made it all 
  
And I fell in love with a lady 
¡¯Cause I¡¯ve seen her at her best 
And I¡¯ve walked her wild and rugged paths 
Through her open wilderness 
And now I never can betray her 
Steal her riches and be gone 
¡¯Cause when you love a mountain lady 
You¡¯re gonna sing a mountain song 
  
Now people come from everywhere 
To see what they can find 
And some take lots of pictures 
And some just take their time 
But they¡¯re some who take her beauty 
That can¡¯t be bought or sold 
And they think of only money 
While destroying wealth untold 
  
But you fall in love with a lady 
When you¡¯ve slept upon her breast 
And I¡¯ve walked her wild and rugged paths 
To her open wilderness 
And you never can betray her 
Steal her riches and be gone 
¡¯Cause when you love a mountain lady 
You¡¯re gonna sing a mountain song
