The Local Honeys Lyrics

"High On A Mountain"

Oh High on the Mountain lonesome high
A whippoorwill sings his lonesome cry
Going to the mountain for to die
Away with the soul away

Oh high on a mountain frosty morn
Peeping through the shadows of yore
Lonesome dead I was lonesome bored
Away with the soul away

Oh high on a mountain oh so high
Bodies laying where the snow can't fly
Troubled soul has taken flight
Away with the soul away

Oh high on a mountain I can't tell
Heaven bound or bound for hell
Life is short so I lived it well
Away with the soul away

Oh high on a mountain I can see
That undertaker coming after me
Laying beneath that sorbus tree
Away with the soul away

Oh high on a mountain now I know
The precious lord has claimed my soul
Live with him while the angels rove
Away with the soul away
