Lyrics for In The Shadow Of Clinch Mountain by Carter Family:
| | | Artist: | Carter Family |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | In The Shadow Of Clinch Mountain | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 62 | | | | Lyrics: | I grew up on the side of Clinch Mountain
With the beauties and the music of the woods
The
sweet song of the bright bubbling fountain
and the warble of the birds I understood
When I've sung my last song in the evening
And the sun sets in the golden west
All the
scenes of this world I'll be leaving
In the shadow of Clinch Mountain I will
rest
Long ago said the oak and the cedar
Singing deeply in a whisper of the
past
Stood not then this great towering leader
nor the fountain where the crystal gems are
kept (passed?)
Then I asked how this green lofty mountain
in the caldron the lonely
desert stood
Said this song of the bright sunny fountain
We were given by the waters of the
flood
Out that gate I have passed since my childhood
O'er the railway through the
tunnel to the west
singing songs of the Clinch Mountain wildwoods
Song that people found and
birds loved the best | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
