"Sweet Mountain Rose" lyrics

"Sweet Mountain Rose"

I've been around in many a town
Drinking away through the night
And all that I found what goes up must come down
Boy, was I in for a fight
There's a girl over there with curls in her hair
Colours that dance in her eyes
Oh, I'll pray to God and I'll go to church
If you'll be my angel tonight

I want you to know
My heart's on fire like whisky deep down in my soul
You're one in a million, yeah, you are my sweet mountain rose
With you by my side for the rest of my life, darling
You're one in a million I know
Please, take me home
My sweet mountain rose

I'm not afraid, I'm gallus and bold
But something's got a hold of my tongue
And somehow through my havering tones
My courage is second to none
I asked for a kiss and she didn't miss
A taste of Bruichladdich on ice
Oh, I'll pray to God and I'll go to church
If you'll be my angel for life

I want you to know
My heart's on fire like whisky deep down in my soul
You're one in a million, yeah, you are my sweet mountain rose
With you by my side for the rest of my life, darling
You're one in a million I know
Please, take me home
My sweet mountain rose
Please, take me home

One in a million, my mountain rose
Forever with you by my side
Now I pray to God and I go to church
'Cause I found my angel that night
