Lyrics for Over High Mountain by Marty Robbins:
| | | Artist: | Marty Robbins |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Over High Mountain | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 75 | | | | Lyrics: | Over high mountains not too far away
Is a valley I'm longin' to see
There lives a maiden
who wants be mine
But her family cares nothin' for me
Her Mother knows that her
daughter found love
In the arms of a poor mountain man
Her Father tells her, have nothin'
to do
With the boy from the high mountain clan
Those in the valley have castles and
wealth
Does that make them better than I
My dreams are my wealth and I've plenty of
them
And my castles reach up to the sky
'Cause I am poor have I no right to
love
Even though I am loved in return
True love can never be measured in riches
And
money cannot make it burn
Her wealthy Father believes that a man
Should be judged on
the ground that he owns
Since I have only the price of an acre
He wants me to leave her
alone
But I'm determined, I'm young and I'm strong
It's true love that I'm workin'
for
I'll buy me an acre down there in the valley
And soon have a hundred or
more
Nola and I will be married and Heaven
Will bless with a boy and a girl
And
we'll teach them true love can never be measured
By riches they've gained in this world | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
