Mountain Lady

Mountain lady do you sit on your front porch in the cool of the day

Mountain lady did you think your kids would ever come back to stay

Mountain lady does the columbine still twine around your door

And did you ever get a rug

To cover the cracks where my diaper drug on your wooden floor

Oh you appalachian lady once i was your little baby

And you rocked me in your homemade rockin' chair

Since i heard the wild goose callin' i have done a lot of fallin'

Mountain lady someday i'll come to you there

Mountain lady does the country church bell ring on sunday morn

Mountain lady do you still wear that old apron ragged and torn

Mountain lady on winter nights before our old fireplace

As you look into the flame do you ever call my name and do you see my face

Oh you appalachian lady...

Mountain lady
