Mountain Mary

Myself I come from the lowly hills I love my home and I always will I thought it was the tops until I climbed the mountains squarely In a mountain village where the road did turn Met Mary from the mountains sitting on a churn And for her my heart did burn With desire for Mountain Mary I love Mary from the mountains Fair Mary from the fair bear mountains I love Mary from the mountains I love Mountain Mary The strings of my heart went zing The catch on her bra-strap went ping I knew this was the real thing You meet a woman like her so rarely I loved her she loved me too Tried to make her happy but I tell you The greatest joy I ever knew I got from Mountain Mary I love Mary from the mountains Fair Mary from the fair bear mountains I love Mary from the mountains I love Mountain Mary But alas I could not stay Soon I had to be on my way I swore that I'd return one day Though leaving her was scary When I've been roaming to-ing fro-ing I traveled with my heart a-glowing The only thing that keeps me going Is the thought of Mountain Mary I love Mary from the mountains Fair Mary from the fair bear mountains I love Mary from the mountains I love Mountain Mary I love mountains shallow and steep Mountain goats and mountain sheep But of all life's riches the one I'd keep I'd keep Mountain Mary I love Mary from the mountains Fair Mary from the fair bear mountains I love Mary from the mountains I love Mountain Mary
