Lyrics of High on a mountain

High on a mountain where the sun still shines
And the water runs a little lazy
Wild-eyed and lonely, runnin' out of time
Some will say i died half-crazy

One time a hustler took me for a ride
All because i tried to deceive her
She broke me down and laughed and left me weak inside
The more i lost my pride, the more it pleased her

Carry me 'cross the water
I've been over there once before
Stayed with a poor man's daughter
I can't live in this country no more

Death beds and ragged threads are my last home
Someone should have known of my endin'
Born bad, i killed a man for sympathy
Ain't much left of me worth defendin'

Carry me 'cross the water
I've been over there once before
And i stayed with a poor man's daughter
I can't live in this country no more
