You Gave Me A Mountain
Born in the heat of the desert
- Born in the heat of the desert
- My mother died giving me life
- Despised and disliked by my father
- Blamed for the loss of his wife
- You know Lord I've been in a prison
- For something I'd never done
- It's been one hill after another
- And I've climbed them Lord one by one
- But this time you gave me a mountain
- A mountain I may never climb
- It isn't a hill any longer
- You gave me a mountain this time
- My woman got tired of the hardships
- Tired of the grief and the strife
- Tired of working for nothing
- Tired of being my wife
- She took my one ray of sunshine
- She took my pride and my joy
- She took my reason for living
- She took my small baby boy
- And this time you gave me a mountain
- A mountain I may never climb
- It isn't a hill any longer
- You gave me a mountain this time
