Run Mountain
2 Went up on the mountain
To get a load of pine
I put it on the 1 wagon
And I broke down behind
Chorus
Run mountain, 5 chuck a little hill
Run mountain, 1 chuck a little hill
Run mountain, 5 chuck a little hill
There you'll get your 1 fill
When I was real hard at work
I set down to play
Thinking of my old true love
She's many miles away
Me six miles from my home
And the chickens crowing for day
Me upstairs with another man's wife
Better be getting away
lf I had a needle and thread
As fine as I could sew
I'd sew my true love to my side
And down the road I'd go
I went up on the mountain
To give my horn a blow
I thought I heard my true love say
That's coming from my beau
