Fire on the Mountain
Took my fam'ly away from my Carolina home Had dreams about the West and started to roam Six long months on a dust covered trail They say heaven's at the end but so far it's been hell And there's fire on the mountain, lightnin' in the air Gold in them hills and it's waitin' for me there We were diggin' and siftin' from five to fiveSellin' everything we found just to stay aliveGold flowed free like the whiskey in the barsSinnin' was the big thing, lord and Satan was his star And there's fire on the mountain, lightnin' in the air Gold in them hills and it's waitin' for me there Dance hall girls were the evenin' treatEmpty cartridges and blood lined the gutters of the streetMen were shot down for the sake of funOr just to hear the noise of their forty-four gunsAnd there's fire on the mountain, lightnin' in the airGold in them hills and it's waitin' for me thereNow my widow she weeps by my graveTears flow free for her man she couldn't saveShot down in cold blood by a gun that carried fameAll for a useless and no good worthless claimLetras de cancionesAnd there's fire on the mountain, lightnin' in the airGold in them hills and it's waitin' for me thereFire on the mountain, lightnin' in the airGold in them hills and it's waitin' for me thereWaitin' for me there From Letras Mania
