Up on the Mountain
(J. Comanor/S. Silverstein)Sal from the valley loved Al from the alley and they lived in harmonySally played acoustic and Al, he played electric and they both took turns on leadThey sang it for their friends, again and again of the places they had beenBut their favourite song of all was called up on the mountainUp on the mountain, up where the light breaks, that's where you'll find meGonna leave this worrisome world and it's trouble behind meUp on the mountain, where the light breaks, that's where I'll beI've barely got time to finish this song so say farewell for meThen into the valley came a girl from the galleys, with a strange and smilin' faceAl played acoustic and Sally played electric, and the gal played a hell of a bassAnd when they sang their harmonies, the lady dipped right inShe soon moved in and lived with them up on the mountainUp on the mountain, up where the light breaks, that's where you'll find meGonna leave this worrisome world and it's trouble behind meUp on the mountain, where the light breaks, that's where I'll beI've barely got time to finish this song so say farewell for meNow Al from the alley is gone from the valley, a sadder but wiser manAnd Sally from the valley and the gal from the galleys they live in mortal sinSal plays acoustic and the gal plays electric and sometimes they hold handsLate at night you can hear them playing, up on the mountainSongtexteUp on the mountain, up where the light breaks, that's where you'll find meGonna leave this worrisome world and it's trouble behind meUp on the mountain, where the light breaks, that's where I'll beI've barely got time to finish this song so say farewell for meHot lickin' and finger pickin'Say farewell for me(c)1976 Tro-Essex Music Ltd.
