Lyrics of Mountaineer is always free

I'm one of the few, i'm proud to be standing
I walked up the pier from the coffin ships landing
My clothes were just rags, no use for this weather
But my back was strong, my hands tough as leather

I climbed up these hills till i came to the spot where i stand
I cleared these fields and i pulled up the stumps with my hands
No more a wanderer, no more a refugee
A mountaineer is always free

Took a cherokee bride, she gave me five babies
And i sang at the wakes, i cried at the weddings
I taught all my children the songs of my youth
To dance to the fiddle and practice the truth

I carried them up on my shoulders to where they could see
The whole world before them just so they would know what it means
No more a wanderer, no more a refugee
A mountaineer is always free

No kings, no landlords to treat us like beggars and thieves
No one but god here to fear or to look down on me
No more a wanderer, no more a refugee
A mountaineer is always free

No more a wanderer, no more a refugee
A mountaineer is always free
