The Mountain Girl

There once was a man
without malice or plan
who stole the heart
of a mountain girl

Once that mountain girl was his
well, that changed his deed
for he realized after all
this mountain girl was his one true need

So they climbed the hills
and waded the mire
so that together they’d be
knowing that was both their heart’s desire

A wise man once said
with truth in his voice
love without pain
may not be our choice

But the mountain girl knew
that for him she’d give all
for those eyes of blue
her soul they did call
