The Spirit of the Mountains - Alan Cathead Johnston

The Spirit Of The Mountains


Will you go with me back up on the mountain
To a secret place underneath the trees?
I will serenade you by the dulcet fountain
Flowing with melodies in perfect harmony


And I will give you peace that you can't buy with money
You can close your eyes and we'll become as one
And I will play for you on strings of mountain honey
And take you past the moon and far beyond the sun

(CHO)
I was born in the hearts of mountain people
I am the music they always pass along
My voice has been heard from the barroom to the steeple
I am the spirit of the mountains in a song


Will you go with me back up on the mountain
To a secret place underneath the trees?
I will serenade you by the dulcet fountain
Flowing with melodies in perfect harmony
